Shukracharya Defies Lord Shiv, Declares War Against Shivatva

Devraj Indra informs Shukracharya that Goddess Parvati is bestowing good fortune upon everyone, but Shukracharya refuses to accept it. He declares that he will shape his own destiny and considers Shiv Shakti his enemies before departing.

Meanwhile, Lord Shiv reflects on how ego leads to destruction rather than stability. Goddess Parvati agrees, stating that Shukracharya has lost his way in fulfilling his duties as the Asur Guru, committing sins instead. Lord Shiv expresses not sympathy but pity for him.

Later, Lord Shiv reassures his devotees of his unwavering support, while a king asks Goddess Parvati to visit him often. Embracing him, she reminds him that a father’s home is always a daughter’s home and promises to come whenever he calls for her. She then departs with Lord Shiv, followed by the Devtas.

Elsewhere, Shukracharya searches for Diti, questioning why he must constantly prove his abilities. He laments that Lord Narayan deceived the Asur clan, altering their fate. Determined to prove his power, he summons Rahu and Ketu, stating that when their forces combine, they can control anyone. He commands them to build an army against Shiv Shakti. Despite Chandradev warning him against it, Rahu mocks the Devtas’ fear. Suryadev reminds Shukracharya that no one can defeat Lord Shiv or erase Shivatva, but Shukracharya laughs, vowing to challenge it and unleash devastation.

As Shiv Shakti returns to Kailash, they are welcomed with chants and flowers. Nandi announces a grand Maha Aarti, and Ganesh asks his parents to take their rightful place. The people of Kailash perform the Aarti in reverence.

Meanwhile, Chandradev pleads with Shukracharya to reconsider, but Lord Shiv himself arrives, urging Shukracharya to abandon this path of destruction for the sake of the universe’s peace. In a surprising move, Lord Shiv offers Kailash and Swarglok to Shukracharya and even acknowledges him as the victor, pleading with him not to commit this sin. However, Shukracharya remains resolute, confident that Lord Shiv has already grown restless and that his decision is final.
