Most of the people present in this yagya, didn't wanted to be here. They were forced to participate by Daksh, the gods were sitting on thrones and rishis were doing the yagya along with Daksh and Prastuti.

Rishi Dadhichi had already cursed Daksh that his yagya shall never be completed. Now if the beginning is like this then one can imagine how the end will be.

Suddenly Mata Sati along with Nandi came to the yagya podium, she walks towards Daksh and kneels beside him.

"Mere bina yagya kar rahe the Pitashree ? Dekhiye ab mai aa gayi hu, ab Mahadev ko bhi nimantran de dijiye." She asks as tears blurred her vision.

"Kaun mere agya ki avhelna kar bina amantran ke aaya hai ?" Daksh asked rudely.

"Pitashree, Mahadev ka aapke charan sparsh na karna aapka apman nahi tha. Unhone toh ek ghor anarth aur aapko ek mahapaap se bachaya hai." Mata Sati said.

"Yagya mai vilambh ho raha hai." Daksh said.

"Mahadev ne kisi bhi mariyada ka ulanghan nahi kiya, Maa samjhayiye na Pitashree ko. Yeh yagya Mahadev ke bina kaise ho sakta hai ?" Mata Sati said.

"Prajapati Daksh ka adesh hai ki yagya prarambh ho." Daksh said.

"Aapke ahit ko rokne ki yeh mera antim prayas hai Pitashree." Mata Sati said.

"Baar-baar Pita ka sambodhan kar mera apmaan mat karo Kanya." Daksh said and everyone gasped.

'Amarsri, Sati ko punah kailash bhejo. Daksh ka durbhagya usse bula raha hai, Sati ko uska bhag mat banne do. Usse punah kailash bhejdo.' Mahadev's restless voice ringed in Amarsri's mind.

"Swamini, mujhe aisa lag raha hai ki aaj yaha ghor anarth hone wala hai." Shreeshaktishwar said.

"Mata Sati, Daksh ki buddhi bhrasht ho chuki hai. Inhe kshama kar punah laut jayiye Kailash." Amarsri said.

"Nahi-Nahi Amarsri, tum mere pita ke baato par kupit na ho. Yeh mujhse thoda krodhit hai, kintu inki rushthata inka mere prati prem hai." Mata Sati said.

"Yagya mai vighna mat daalo kanya !" Daksh scolded breaking her heart.

"Yagya mai vighna daalne ki meri koi mansha nahi thi, Pitashree. Mai laut jayungi, bhul meri hi thi. Mahadev ne mujhse kaha tha ki bina amantran mat jayo, kintu maine ek na suni." Mata Sati said as tears streamed down her face.

"Aaj ek putri pehli baar apne maike aayi thi...mujhe kshama kardo Sati." Prastuti said.

"Nahi Maa, kshama toh mujhe maangni hai apne Mahadev se. Mai chalti hu Maa." Mata Sati said and started leaving.

"Thehro Sati ! Uss pakhandi se Natak ki kala bhali bhati sikh li hai tumne." Daksh said making Mata Sati and Nandi stop in their tracks.

"Bas swami bas ! Mai aapse vinti karti hu woh jaa rahi hai use jaane dijiye !" Prastuti said joining her hands.

"Kaal ko amantrit mat karo Daksh !" Rishi Kashyap said.

"Kaal aur Mahakaal aaj dono hi mere ghar ke chakar hai. Aur aaj toh swayam Bhagwan vishnu mere saath hai toh woh Shiv mera kya ukhad lega." Daksh said arrogantly.

"Pitashree, iss yagya ki shanti aur aapka samaan bana rahe iss liye maine yaha se jaane ka nirnaye liya hai." Mata Sati said firmly and again turned around.

"Oh toh ab tumhe apne Pitashree ke maan-sammaan ki chinta hone lagi ? Uss din kaha thi yeh chinta jis din tumhe uss vairaghi se vivah kiya tha ?" Daksh taunted.

"Bas Pitashree Bas ! Aapke samman ki raksha karke maine putri dharm nibhaya, kintu ab patni dharm ke anusar mai aapko Mahadev ka apman karne nahi dungi." Mata Sati said.

"Aur aap sab maun kaise hai ? Kya mere Mahadev ka apmaan aap sab ka apmaan nahi ?" Mata Sati asked everyone and all lowered their gaze.

She then walks towards the place where all the gods were sitting.

"Pitamah ? Yeh sampoorn Shrishti toh Brahma, Vishu, Mahesh se hai. Toh aapne apne samne yeh apmaan kaise sahan kar liya ? Kya unka apmaan aapka apmaan nahi ?" Mata Sati asked Brahmadev.

"Aur Narayan ? Mahadev toh aapke Aradhya haina ? Toh unka apmaan aap kaise seh sakte hai ?" Mata Sati asked, she then moved towards Amarsri.

"Amarsri ? Tum toh Harihareshwari hona ? Mahadev ka apmaan toh tumhara apmaan hai ! Toh jis sthan par tumahre Pita Mahadev ka apmaan ho raha hai tum uss sthan par aahuti lene kyu baithi ho ? Uttar do ! Maun mat raho !" Mata Sati said.

"Mata mai vivash hu, maine Daksh ko vachan diya tha ki jab tak yeh yagya sampoorn nahi hota mai yeh wapas nahi jaa sakti. Mera anurodh hai ki aap ab punah kailash laut jaye." Amarsri said sadly.

"Ab mai nahi lautungi ! Jinko sampoorn shrishti pujti hai aur unka aisa apmaan sabne seh kaise liya ? Mujhe uttar chahiye !" Mata Sati said.

"Bas Sati Bas ! Yeh sabhi devta, yaksh, Rishi-muni, adi yaha upasthit hai mere sneh ke karan. Aur aaj toh swayam mere aradhya Narayan mere saath hai. Lagta hai tum bhi uss nirlajj ke saath, nirlajj ho chuki ho." Daksh said pulling the last straw. Now Mata Sati had enough of everything.

"Yaha upasthit sabhi log jinhone Mahadev ka apmaan saha, unn sabhi ko iss paap se kabhi mukti nahi milegi ! Aur mai ab Mahadev ko naman karke iss deh ko agnikund mai daal ke bhasm-vibhut karti hu." Mata Sati said and everyone stood up.

Mata Sati walked up to yagya podium, Amarsri and Shreeshaktishwar ran towards her along with Prastuti, Aditi, Rohini and Chandradev, stopping her.

"Mata ! Yeh aap kya karne jaa rahi hai !?" Amarsri asked.

"Niche aayiye, Mata." Shreeshaktishwar said.

"Prajapati Daksh ! Agar Sati ko kuch huya tih mai bhi issi agni kund mai bhasm-vibhut ho jayungi." Prastuti threatened.

"Sati chalo humare saath, hum swayam tumhe kailash chodke aayenge." Rohini said.

"Kailash chalo Sati, waha koi tumhe kuch nahi kahega." Aditi said.

"Sati Mahadev ke baare mai socho !" Chandradev said.

"Hey Narayan ! Hey Prabhu yeh kaisi leela hai !?" Prastuti said.

"Ruk Jao Sati, Mahadev ka tumhare bina kya hoga yeh socha hai tumne ?" Narayan asked.

"Narayan, iss sharir mai Mahadev ko, unke prem ko samajhne ki kshamta nahi hai. Iss liye iss deh ko nasht hona hi padega, kyuki isme Prajapati Daksh ka ansh hai. Dakshyani hona kalank hai mere liye ! Yeh deh Mahadev ke liye ayogya hai." Mata Sati said.

"Daksh, ho sake toh yeh ahit rok lo kyuki ab hum yaha ek shan bhi nahi ruk sakte." Narayan said.

"Narayan aapne mere rakshan ka vachan diya tha !" Daksh said.

"Tumhare rakshan ke liye mai upasthit ho jayunga, kintu yeh ahit mujhse nahi dekha jayega." Narayan said and disappeared with Mata Laxmi in thin air.

"Dakshyani hona kalank hai tere liye !? Jaa kud jaa agni kund mai agar tere mai sahas hai toh !!" Daksh exclaimed.

"DAKSH TUMHARI BUDDHI PURI TARAH BHANG HO CHUKI HAI KYA ?" Brahmadev yelled.

"Tum apni putri ko prajwalit agnikund mai kudne ko keh rahe ho ? Woh tumhare putri hone ke saath-saath Mahadev ki patni bhi hai." Mata Saraswati said.

"Yahi toh kalank hai iska ki yeh uss Shiv ki patni hai !" Daksh said.

"DAKSH ! BHULO MAT TUM JISKI BAAT KAR RAHE HO WOH MERE PITA HAI !" Amarsri warned.

"Aur tum jisse agnikund mai kudne ko keh rahe ho woh meri Mata hai Daksh ! Adi-shakti hai woh !" Shreeshaktishwar said.

"Shiv ko mai pashu tulya bhi nahi maanta !" Daksh said.

"Bas Prajapati Bas !" Mata Sati said coming in front him.

"Aaj mujhe pata chala ki Dakshyani hona mere liye kitna bada abhishaap hai ! Mujhe iss abhishaap se mukt hona hi hoga ! Iss deh ko nasht hona hi hoga !" Mata Sati said.

"Aaj mere hridaye mai tum dono ke liye ghrina aur bhi badh gayi hai ! Na mere hridaye mai uss Shiv ke liye koi sthan hai na hi koi sammaan !" Daksh yelled.

Suddenly the winds started howling and thunder and lightning covered the sky as Mata Sati took the form of Adi-shakti.

"Prajapati ! Mai Adi-shakti hu ! Mai iss shan tumhare praan le sakti hu kintu tum iss deh ke Pita ho, aur mai pitru-hatya ke paap se karm ke bandhan mai nahi bandhna chahti." Adi-shakti said.

"Iss sharir se jude sabhi sambandho ka mai tyaag karti hu, aur iss deh ki Mata, Prastuti ko naman karti hu. Ab mai swayam ki urja se iss deh ko nasht karti hu !" Adi-shakti said and her entire body started burning.

Shreeshaktishwar and Amarsri tried to stop her from doing so but their powers were nothing compared to hers. They weren't even able to look at her properly, the luminance and heat was too much.

Soon her body took the form of Sati and fell on the ground, burning. Everyone looked at her wide eyes, completely shocked.

"SATI !!!" A voice brought everyone to their senses. But it didn't belong to anyone present at the yagya podium, it came from Kailash and belonged to Mahadev. His scream shook the entire earth and the universe to the core.

Suddenly the entire earth started shaking, many fell down on the floor. It felt like some earthquake had come but little did they know it was a lot worse.

"Yeh kya ho raha hai ?" Daksh asked.

"Mahadev ka Rudra-Tandav." Amarsri said.
