Vrish: thanks a lot, I knew that code, but i thought there was some other shortcuts.

Okay, so sucha great king himavan can fight only alone while all the guards and soldiers watch on a side? Thats so lame? What were they trying to show? BUt more than 20 yrs on and pankaaj dheer still rocks the sword fighting moves.

And how long are they planning to recycle old scenes of shiv and sati?

Markendeya is sch a powerful rishi, and all he does is stand and stare and do philosophical musings?

Ganga is so pretty and her voice is so horrible, its like urmila matondkar speaking while chewing a pan.

and vidyunmali speaks his thoughts out so loud?

Btw: Nandi, where was he hidden? mauka dekhke hajir? and he acts so much like the matchmaking aunties

@narangi: yes specially the mangal kavyas dwell with this topc mostly. However there are some sources where ganga is considered Vishnu's wife too and saraswati at times are considered Visnhu's wife too.😆 Indian mythos are never straight forward. MY personal fav is though Durga ma urrf parvati ma is shivji's wife and saraswati laxmi are her daughters and karthik and ganesh her sons, ie durgapuja theme 😆

Thanks for the update!

There are many layers to the Ganga-Shiva relationship.

In one source from Bengal, Ganga is considered Shiva's first wife and Parvati the usurper.

I have also heard of fights between Shiva and Parvati re. his relationship with Ganga (can look up the source of anyone is interested).

And I have seen a beautiful Kangra painting (18th c) called "Siva embracing Ganga"...it's in the India Office Library in London. If you're ever in London, do look it up.

So obviously, there are variants.

thnks fr the update.

Dear All,

Thanks Sia for the lovely update.😊

Kalidas was a poet. Poets & writers are apperciated for their imaginary work. If they are taking his writings seriously as a puranic event , then why Kalidas, each & every writer who has written about Shivji, Ganga, Parvati should be taken seriously & shown in the show. The version we are watching is imaginative too many times, but in the end they show the Purana's story mostly. Hope they stick to the original version.

There is a verse in Kalidasa's Meghaduta that mentions Parvati's jealousy towards Ganga as the latter flows through Siva's matted hair. Also in Sri-Harsha's Ratnavali, Parvati expresses similar emotions to Siva which clearly amuses him.

Im totally confused after watching this episode...the kind of look ganga gave while watching shiv...i dont understand it...and everything in this show is happening so fast...its like sati died yesterday and parvati is taking birth today...i thought both incidence took place with gap of like some centuries of yrs...plz explain both things...

Let's wait for the next epi. to judge that look of Ganga. This show has very silly, insane timeline as far as some(many) incidents are concered. There was a long gap between Shivji-Sati's marriage & Sati's death, they showed it as 7 days period only. So don't be surprised about Parvati's birth happening so soon.
