Book Cover: The Oath of Vayuputra’s

Shiva learns about the demon “Somras” and its negative consequences on Indians after visiting Brahaspati in the Naga city of Panchavati. According to Brahaspati, the water in the Saraswati River has been depleted as a result of the substantial amounts of water needed to produce Somras. The devastating disease caused by the Somras’ production waste was released into the Tsangpo river, which runs through the Branga region as the Brahmaputra. As a result of the rapid cell multiplication that results in distortion and outgrowths, the birth of Naga children was also attributed to Somras.

To see Gopal, the leader of the Vasudev pandits, Shiva and his entourage journey to the secret city of Ujjain. He describes how, when “bad” arises, a member of the Vayuputra council, an ancient tribe abandoned by the former Mahadev Lord Rudra and living in the distant area of Pariha in the West, is trained to become the Neelkanth. Shiva concludes that he was groomed as Neelkanth by his uncle Manobhu, who turns out to be a former Vayuputra member. Shiva vows a fight against the Kingdom and implores the populace to give up drinking Somras after learning that Meluha is the main location for its production.

Due to his belief that it is his responsibility to protect his nation, Parvateshwar resolves to join Meluha, and Anandamayi follows him. Shiva also understands that Maharishi Bhrigu, the Swadweepan emperor Dilipa, and Daksha conspired against him and were the brains behind the attack on Panchavati. Branga, Vaishali, and Kashi rush to Shiva’s help as the war preparations are mobilized. While Kartik and Ganesh invade Ayodhya and successfully stop them from supporting Meluha, he takes the Nagas, Brangas, and the Vasudev elephant regiment to attack Meluha.

Shiva seizes Mrittikavatti and orders the populace to jail Vidyunmali’s Meluhan army since Vidyunmali thinks Shiva is a liar. To destroy Sati’s army, he flees and convinces Bhrigu and Parvateshwar to launch an attack with a thousand Meluhan men.

After this loss, Shiva decides not to invade Meluha and instead departs for Pariha with Gopal. Their goal was to obtain the terrifying Brahmastra weapon and use it to pressure the Meluhans into making peace with them. He encounters Mithra, the leader of the Vayuputras, who turns out to be his maternal uncle, there. The Pashupatastra, which operates on a specific target rather than eradicating everything like the Brahmastra, is given to Neelkanth by Mithra after persuading the Vayuputras that Shiva is the actual Neelkanth. To give Kali the appearance that he was about to assault Panchavati, Parvateshwar utilizes dummy ships. Kali is alarmed and follows the lure while being pursued by the best Naga troops. She returns after realizing her error, though.

Vidyunmali is sent by Daksha to find Egyptian assassins to carry out her plot to kill Shiva. He draughts a peace agreement for Shiva, but Sati joins the peace summit and learns the truth without him. She puts up a brave battle against the assassins but loses. Sati’s death puts a stop to the battle, but an incensed Shiva plans to permanently destroy Devagiri with the Pashupatastra. Parvateshwar, Anandmayi, and Veerini decide to remain in the city and perish with it, but Kartik convinces Bhrigu to continue and pass on his great knowledge to future generations. The history of Devagiri and the Somras factories buried under the city comes to an end as Shiva releases the astra.

Shiva retreats to Mount Kailash in the epilogue, where he spends the remainder of his days in tranquility but mourning Sati every day. Due to their strength, Ganesh, Kali, and Kartik became revered as Gods across India. They eliminate the entire clan of Egyptian assassins as payback for Sati’s murder. Bhrigu compiles his wisdom in a book titled Bhrigu Samhita while also continuing to educate.

The death of Sati is not forgotten, and she eventually gained fame as the goddess Shakti. Her ashes are dispersed over India in locations that have since become known as Shakti Peethas (Seat of Shakti). It is revealed that Yamuna’s path was changed to flow eastward, drying up the Saraswati River, to prevent the Somras from being mass-produced once more.
