The episode of Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Tandav, aired on August 25, 2024, unfolds a dramatic and intense storyline. It begins with Lord Shiv expressing his concerns to Adi Shakti about Jalandhar. He tells her that he does not wish for Jalandhar’s death, but acknowledges that Jalandhar refuses to leave the path of wrongdoing. Lord Shiv is willing to sacrifice anything for the well-being of the universe, even if it means taking difficult decisions. Adi Shakti assures him that she will fulfill her duties. However, Shiv reminds her that they cannot disclose to Jalandhar that he is their son, as they are bound by a promise. Adi Shakti then departs, knowing what lies ahead.
Meanwhile, Lord Narayan is seen conversing with Jalandhar. He warns Jalandhar that everything is changing and that soon, he will discover the truth about Mumba Devi and Babulnath. At that moment, a soldier arrives with news that the people of Kailash have returned alive. Jalandhar is surprised, but before he can process this information, another soldier brings the shocking news of Mumbarak’s death. Jalandhar finds it hard to believe, stating that it’s impossible.
Adi Shakti then appears and confirms that she was the one who killed Mumbarak. Jalandhar is stunned to see her. The Devas and Goddesses greet Adi Shakti with reverence, while Lord Narayan smiles, acknowledging her arrival. Adi Shakti tells Jalandhar that everything he has heard is indeed true. She reveals that she has come to challenge him to a war, aiming to free the Devas and Goddesses from his control.
Jalandhar, unafraid, mocks Adi Shakti, claiming that neither she nor Lord Shiv can scare him. He challenges her to attack him, boasting that he will not move an inch. He even declares his intention to imprison Adi Shakti. Without hesitation, Adi Shakti takes up her weapon, and Jalandhar follows suit. The two engage in a fierce battle, with Jalandhar growing increasingly frustrated as he fails to overpower Adi Shakti. Despite his best efforts, he struggles to defend himself.
In the heat of the battle, Jalandhar turns to Vrinda for help, asking her how Adi Shakti is able to surpass her power. Vrinda, in response, begins to pray, chanting “Om Namah Shivaya” and “Om Namah Narayana,” seeking divine intervention. Adi Shakti then moves towards the ocean, which prompts Jalandhar to laugh, as he believes he controls the ocean and that she has nowhere to hide. However, Adi Shakti enters the ocean and uses its waves to create a powerful weapon, shocking Jalandhar. He recognizes the weapon and is alarmed, realizing that only Sagar Raj could have created it.
Jalandhar, now desperate, summons Sagar Raj. When Sagar Raj arrives, Jalandhar accuses him of betrayal, demanding to know how Adi Shakti obtained such a weapon. Sagar Raj sees Adi Shakti and recalls how he had granted a boon to Mumba, realizing now that Mumba was, in fact, Adi Shakti. Lord Narayan then reveals that Mumba Devi is none other than Adi Shakti herself. Jalandhar, feeling humiliated, insults Sagar Raj for giving a boon to what he thought was a mere fisherwoman. Adi Shakti, undeterred, orders Jalandhar to release the Devas and Goddesses. When Jalandhar tries to attack her again, he finds himself unable to do so. Adi Shakti, using her powers, binds Jalandhar, rendering him helpless.
