Mythology & LoreThis episode presents a detailed retelling of Hindu mythology focusing on the origins of Savani and the power of the divine mother Mahammaya. The story follows King Sarata, a just ruler who loses his kingdom to enemies and treacherous ministers, forcing him to flee to a forest ashram. There he meets a merchant named Samadi who was similarly betrayed by his own family. Both men struggle with attachment to what they've lost, leading them to seek wisdom from the sage Medas.
