On the 4th of August, a significant series of events transpired in the episode of “Shiv Shakti – Tap Tyaag Tandav.” The episode begins with a woman approaching Jalandhar, claiming she went fishing despite being pregnant due to her family’s financial struggles. She reveals she gave birth to her daughter in the ocean and pleads with Jalandhar to return her child. Sardar is visibly shocked but complies, handing the baby to the woman. The crowd chants “Jai Jalandhar” as he departs.
Later, Sardar confronts the woman, revealing she is his wife and accusing her of lying to Jalandhar. She explains their childlessness and admits to seizing the opportunity to claim the orphaned baby as their own, viewing it as a blessing from Lord Shiv. Despite his initial reluctance, Sardar is persuaded by her insistence on considering the child as a divine gift.
Meanwhile, Jalandhar commands his Asurs to monitor Lord Shiv, expressing his desire to uncover the mysteries of the ocean. Sagar Raj suggests that since Lord Shiv mentioned Mata Parvati’s presence in the ocean, he will search for her there. However, Lord Narayan dismisses Sagar Raj’s efforts, declaring Jalandhar’s downfall has begun and prophesying the eventual reunion of Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati after they fulfill their responsibilities. Despite Jalandhar’s determination to prevent this, Lord Narayan remains confident that no force can separate Shiv and Shakti.
In the fisher community, news spreads about Sardar and Sardaran finding a daughter in the ocean. They present the baby to the community, who admire her charm. Sardar requests the community to keep the baby’s origins a secret, and they pledge their support. Preparations begin for the baby’s naming ceremony, where she is christened Mumba, and the community celebrates with dance and joy.
However, the celebration is interrupted by the arrival of the Asur commander and his soldiers. He demands an explanation for the gathering and reminds the fishermen of Jalandhar’s rule, which requires them to pay double tax for every newborn. When questioned about Mumba’s parents, the community collectively claims her as their daughter, prompting the Asur commander to insist that they all pay the tax.
The episode ends on this tense note, highlighting the community’s unity and resilience in the face of Jalandhar’s oppressive rule.
