Smeared with ash, draped in animal hide, sitting atop a rock in the shamshan and drinking bhang (Mahadev's Prasad),Mahadev is absorbed in his meditation amongst theAghori ascetics. Narad Muni instigates Nandi to question Mahadev about bringing Devi Sati to Kailash. Withdrawn from the complexities of life, Mahadev smirks at Nandi's question thinking about Sati, leaving behind the materialistic life for Kailash. On the other hand, Sati falls for Mahadev and confesses her love before Madanike.
