The Pakratis are ruthless murderers, who spare not even women and children. The Gunas are offered a peaceful life in the land of Meluha by an envoy lead by Captain Nandi. Shiva is doubtful but when the Pakratis attack them and he observes the Meluhans risking their lives for his tribe's sake , he is convinced to leave. Even though the traditions dictate that the people have to follow their chief, Shiva asks for his best friend and a respected warrior Bhadra's and people's counsel on what is to be done. Their opinions concurred with Shiva's and the soon departed for this land beyond the Great Himalayan Mountains. Their journey is as uneventful as their life back on the lake was, they face an assault from the Pakratis whom they defeat and grant immunity.
