Chapter 1 : Radha-Krishna's teenage

Krishna's devotee, Sridama curses Radha-Lakshmi in Goloka to forget Krishna for 100 years and live on Earth. This was a part of cosmic play as it was time for Krishna-Vishnu to make his entry into the mortal world to save Bhudevi from evil. Radha and Krishna are reborn in Barsana and Mathura respectively.

Krishna is destined to kill his evil maternal uncle, Kamsa. Meanwhile, Ayan, Radha's friend loves Radha and he tries to separate Radha from Krishna. Krishna defeats Vyomasura, a demon whose marriage was fixed with Radha. Krishna removes all humanly weaknesses like bhaya (fear), moha (greed), krodha (anger), ghrina (hatred), irshya (envy), ahankara (pride) and heenbhavna (lack of self-confidence) out of Radha. In the process, she becomes closer to Krishna but is forced to marry Ayan. Later she realises that this marriage is merely an illusion as she can't marry anyone except Krishna because she is the incarnation of Lakshmi and Krishna is none other than Vishnu, Lakshmi's consort. Radha understands that her marriage is fake and eternally, she is Krishna's consort after Brahma completes Brahma Kalyāna (heavenly wedding) of Radha and Krishna in Goloka.

Krishna, along with Balarama, defeats the demons sent by Kamsa such as Putana, Bakasura, Aghasura, Timirasura, Sudarshana, Arishtasura, Keshi, Vyomasura, Dhenukasura, Ekadansha, Pralambasura, the evil enchanter Sammohana, and his 8 brothers who are defeated by Radha's Ashtalakshmi (8 incarnations of Lakshmi) avatars. Finally, Kans calls Krishna and Balaram to Mathura for killing them. However Balaram kills Kamsa's eight brothers and Krishna kills Kamsa. Krishna's biological parents Devaki and Vasudeva are freed from prison and Kamsa's imprisoned father Ugrasena is crowned king. Now, Krishna, Balarama and the Yadavas move to Dwaraka, their new home. Balarama marries Revati (Jyotishmati) in her earlier life, who loved Balarama as Shesha. Elsewhere, Krishna marries Rukmini. Later, Krishna also marries Satyabhama and Jambavati. He then kills the evil Narakasura and his general Mura.

Chapter 2 : Mahabharata

The Pandavas have escaped the lac-palace incident which was organised by their evil cousins – the Kauravas, headed by Duryodhana and his brother Dushasana, their uncle Shakuni and Duryodhana's friend Karna. He helps Panchala king Drupada arrange a Swayamvara for his daughter Draupadi, who was born from a yajna. The third Pandava prince Arjuna wins Draupadi's svayamvara and marries her, however circumstances force Draupadi to marry all five Pandavas. The Pandavas receive a new kingdom Indraprastha, faraway from Hastinapura due to the conflict with the Kauravas.

Krishna's sister Subhadra elopes with Arjuna, whereas Krishna kills the Pundra king Paundraka Vasudeva, an impostor. The second Pandava Bhima also kills the Magadha king Jarasandha. Pandavas soon perform Rajasuya Yagna where they gain supremacy over all of Aryavarta, where Krishna's cousin Shishupala interrupts the ceremony, only to be killed by Krishna. Later, Duryodhana organises a dice game with Shakuni wherein Pandavas lose all their wealth and are humiliated, while Krishna saves Draupadi from getting disrobed in the court by Dushasana. Later, the Pandavas and Draupadi are exiled for 13 years. Upon their return starts the Kurukshetra War, where Arjuna receives from Krishna, the knowledge of Bhagavad Gita. Shikhandi (who got a boon from Lord Shiva to kill Bhishma in her previous birth as Amba) kills Bhishma. Dhrishtadyumna kills Dronacharya, Arjuna kills Karna. Sahadeva kills Shakuni, whereas Bhima kills all the 100 Kauravas, with the war ending with the death of Duryodhana. Gandhari curses Krishna that the Yadava clan will be similarly destroyed. On the other hand, Krishna turns Ayan into a better person.

Chapter 3 : Punarmilan

Krishna returns to Dwaraka. Pradyumna returns to Dwaraka and marries Rukmavati, and a son Aniruddha is born to them. To Jambavati and Krishna, a son Samba is born, who is termed to be the reason for the Yadava destruction as cursed by Gandhari. Samba grows up to be short-tempered but loves his family, especially his mother; however, he hates Radha. Later, Samba, Aniruddha, and Balaram's sons Nishath and Ulmuk are sent to Gurukula along with Radha and return after a few years, as teens. Aniruddha is kept in captivity at Shonitapura, the kingdom of Banasura, by his daughter Usha. This soon results in a war between Krishna and Banasura, wherein Shiva has to fight for Banasura due to his boon, resulting in a faceoff between Krishna and Shiva. Krishna defeats Shiva and punishes Banasura for kidnapping his grandson. Soon, Aniruddha is married to Usha while Samba is married to Hastinapur's Kaurava princess, Lakshmanaa, Duryodhana and Bhanumati's daughter. As Samba had previously joined hands with Banasura, he is cursed with leprosy by Krishna and Surya cures Samba. Samba heavily worships Surya, out of gratitude. Later, Krishna marries Yamuna.

Shankhchuda (rebirth of Sridama) enters the story and has a loving wife, Tulasi, who is his strength but he only uses her. With the help of Tulasi and her devotion to him, Shankhchuda got immense strength and he vows to destroy the whole universe. Krishna disguises himself as Shankhchuda and goes to Tulasi to break her devotion. After Shankhchuda is killed, Tulasi feels cheated. She curses Krishna to become a stone (sālagrāma). However, Tulasi realizes her mistake after she remembers her past. She decides to take her curse back and transforms herself into a Tulasi plant. She then marries Krishna in this form and is told to remain on earth in that form. This displays Tulasi Kalyāna (Tulsi's wedding). Consequently, Hanuman visits Dwarka and witnesses Rama, Lakshmana, and Sita in Krishna, Balarama, and Radha respectively. He gets to know that Krishna and Radha were Rama and Sita in their previous birth and they in turn, are none other than Vishnu and Lakshmi.

Lord Shiva suggests that Krishna should perform the Ashwamedh Yagya, for which he would need someone as his consort (ardhāngini). Krishna chooses Rukmini to sit with him for the yajna; to this his other queens object, claiming that they are equally eligible for sitting with him. Narada advised performing Tulabhara (balancing) in order to find the perfect consort for Krishna. On the weighing scale, Krishna is in one balance and the other queens have to put their jewelry to win Krishna. Radha arrives and places a pair of bangles gifted by Krishna and a tulasi leaf, and wins him upon balancing the scale.

After Krishna's 100th Janmashtami (birthday), the time finally comes, when Sridama's curse comes to an end and Radha remembers everything about Goloka and her true identity as a goddess and the consort of Krishna. Later, she kills Kaptasur, Shalva's accomplice, and Krishna's lookalike, after she realizes his evilness. Afterward, Vidhurath, brother of Dantavakra, tries to kill Radha but gets executed by Krishna's Sudarshana Chakra.

Later, Samba insults Rishi Durvasa in disguise, only to get cursed to be the cause of the Yadava tribe's destruction.

Vishnu has returned to Vaikuntha, however, there is still unrest on Earth. Narada asks some sages who should be worthy of accepting a sacrificial offering. Many say it should be Brahma or Vishnu or Shiva. Narada asks Bhrigu to =visit the three gods. Bhrigu visits Brahma, but he is engrossed by the music played by his wife Saraswati. Bhrigu grows impatient and curses him to never be worshipped on Earth. Bhrigu visits Shiva, only to find him spending time with Parvati. Bhrigu curses Shiva to be worshipped as a lingam by all on Earth. Bhrigu visits Vishnu but is dismayed to see Lakshmi massaging his feet, actually out of love for her husband. Bhrigu stamps the sleeping Vishnu on his chest. Vishnu then massages Bhrigu's foot and shuts his third arrogant eye. Bhrigu realises his mistake and asks for repentance while asking him to accept the offering. Vishnu agrees and sees a crying Lakshmi. Lakshmi condemns Vishnu, saying that Bhrigu stamped on his chest, Lakshmi's second abode (vakshasthala), thereby indirectly insulting Lakshmi too. She leaves Vaikuntha and is reborn as Bhargavi, Bhrigu's daughter in Karvipur. Vishnu descends on Earth as Srinivasa and meditates in an anthill. Brahma and Shiva take the form of cattle and go to Bhargavi with Narada. Bhargavi takes the cattle to the king. The king appoints a cowherd to look after the cattle. Since Vishnu was meditating without food or water, Brahma and Shiva as cattle, squirted milk from their udders every day, to feed Vishnu. This made the cattle weak. The cowherd witnesses the cattle squirting milk and throws an axe at them. The axe instead hits Vishnu on his head, resulting in a bloody gash. Vishnu curses the cowherd and leaves for the hermitage of Vakula Devi. Meanwhile, a demon named Kolasura troubles the people of Karvipur. Bhargavi tries attacking him with her powers and finally transforms into Mahalakshmi, the higher form of Lakshmi. Kolasura asks her, after his death, the town should be named after him. Mahalakshmi agrees and kills Kolasura, thereby obtaining the name Ambabai. Karvipur is renamed Kolhapur and a temple is built for Mahalakshmi.

Srinivasa stays in Vakula Devi's hermitage. While on a hunt, he sees a rogue elephant chasing a princess. He subdues the elephant and the princess accidentally bumps into Srinivasa. The princess falls in love with him, when her maid calls her. The princess is revealed to be Padmavati. Srinivasa returns to Vakula Devi and tells him about his true identity and his desire to marry Padmavati. Vakula Devi agrees and goes to king Akasharaja, Padmavati's father. At the same time, thinking that the king won't believe her, Srinivasa disguises himself as a fortune-teller and tells the queen about the marriage proposal. The queen tells the king at the same time as Vakula Devi tells the king. The wedding preparations begin. Vishnu takes a loan from Kubera to build a mansion for himself and Padmavati, promising to repay the loan after the Kali Yuga. Srinivasa then marries Padmavati.

Lakshmi finds out about Srinivasa and Padmavati's wedding and confronts them. The feud results in Srinivasa turning into an idol. Brahma and Shiva then explain to Lakshmi and Padmavati that Padmavati was actually Vedavati, who wanted to marry Vishnu in her previous birth, but immolated herself due to Ravana's advances on her. Lakshmi returns to Vaikuntha and stays in Vishnu's chest, while Padmavati moves to Tiruchanur and turns into an idol, named Alamelumanga Amma. Vishnu's idol is then enshrined in the Tirumala Temple.
