Plot
Aushij, Lord of Maya, was tricked into a prison of dreams many millenia ago by his siblings for causing chaos in the cosmos. However, from his prison, Aushij still causes uproar in the universe. Sage Pratishravas is visited by a demi-god and informed of the birth of a prodigy, for defeating Aushij. In the southern kingdom of Kozirupam, Queen Vagdatta is informed by general Trishiras that the king was killed off while hunting. Suspecting foulplay from the general, Vagdatta flees the country to a remote hideout, soaring revenge. In the northern kingdom of Avrohan, king Illavarta entrusts his friend Daaruk to keep the magical sword Divaswapna safe for his son, prince Ritaayu. In a remote village of Avrohan, Pratishravas and his clan try to save the prodigal boy and another child from an incoming demon attack, but they fail and the other child is taken away.

The boy grows up as Arihant in the little Janpad of Shringali, under the tutelage of Pratishravas and also becomes a natural warrior. However, a chance meeting with Kozirupam generals, at their village makes his adoptive father Atirath suspicious. In the middle of the night, he asks Arihant to leave Shringali and head for the Ashram of sage Advait. A surprised Arihant starts the journey and on the road he encounters a strange man called Bhootnath. He philosophically guides Arihant on the journey. One day, they encounter a group of White Demons about to kill off a man. Arihant displays extreme warrior abilities and kills off the Demons. The man reveals himself to be Prince Brihadrath of the nearby kingdom of Tilhut. Arihant (now taking the name Ripudaaman) and Bhootnath are kept as royal guests of the kingdom. However, the boy becomes suspicious when he notices that the people of Tilhut and he share the same eye color, and ponders about his heritage.

Vagdatta has remained in her hideout and there she nurtures her daughter Agneyi, born posthumously to her, and gradually expands her army base for attacking Trishiras. But her hideout gets discovered and she has to continuously shift base. Arihant's other sibling, Raudraa, grows up at Kozirupam knowing Trishiras as her father. She is trained in warfare and as Aushij's warrior once the God wakes up. In Advait's ashram, Illavarta's son Ritaayu grows up to be a fierce warrior who helps poor people, and is nicknamed the Tejaswi. Although oblivious of his heritage, after his father was killed in a regicide. The usurper, Rituparno, becomes suspicious of Tejaswi and enlists his spies for news.

After a few months they resume the journey, accompanied by Brihadrath, and three of his personnel—Himadri, Kumbhak and Adrivenu. One day in a forest, they are attacked by wild wargs and a mystical tiger. Bhootnath sacrifices himself and disappears from among them while fighting the beast. Deeply hurt, Arihant and the others continue their journey but are captured by strange men who take them inside a cave of the Shwetkeshi mountains. The cave is revealed to be an underground city, where they are locked up with days passing and nothing happening. Desperate to escape from this prison, Arihant and the others concoct a plan where they bind the lady healer and some soldiers guarding them, wear their garments, and escape through one of the channels going outside. However, once they reach the extremities they are shocked to see that the mountain is just an imaginary piece of land, disconnected from Earth. As they ponder the situation, a ghostly female figure alerts the guards of their escape. The group is taken to a sacrificial chamber, where they see the other inhabitants of the underground city. The female, whose face contorts and changes continuously, tries to take away Ariahnt's soul, but is interrupted by the arrival of a prophecy. It has widespread effect on the people, who immediately start calling Arihant as "Taarak", their savior.

The group is taken to a separate chamber, where the female, reveals her name as Vakrini in a sing-song voice. She tells the story of her tribe, the Drukin Monyul, who around six millenia ago were suffering from a terrible disease. Vakrini had gone to sage Shandilya and became his pupil, hoping for a remedy in terms of the Amrita. However her plans go awry when Shandilya finds out her true cause and curses her with the Amrita. Vakrini also reveals that she had been the last prodigy chosen by the Gods, but Aushij had corrupted and killed off a part of her soul. She and her tribe were doomed to exists in a separate time-space in the hidden city, known as Surangini, which she created from her mind. Their only chance of escaping was the arrival of Arihant, their "Taarak" (savior). Vakrini offers to help Arihant on his training to become the Devanaampriya, beloved of the Gods.

Arihant's training last for more than a year, where he undergoes physical, mental, emotional transformations, and attains divine powers. At the end of the training he, together with his group leave Surangini, which dissolves. Vakrini and her tribe are transported to their original location in the Shwetkeshi Mountains. Arihant travels and reaches Advait's ashram, where he also meets Ritaayu. One day they go to a nearby village to save a group of prisoners; they succeed but realize that it was actually a decoy to find out about Ritaayu. Feeling that it would not be safe for the folks from Tilhut to be there, Arihant and Ritaayu decide to accompany them back to their kingdom.
