The Meluhans, under Ayurvati's orders, carry on the healing process. On their first night of stay at Srinagar, the Gunas wake up amid high fever and sweating.

Shiva and his tribe are impressed with the Meluhan way of life. They reach the city of Srinagar and are received there by Ayurvati, the Chief of Medicine of the Meluhans. Shiva accepts the proposal and moves to Meluha with his tribe. One of those invited are the Gunas, whose chief Shiva is a brave warrior and protector. The present king of Meluha, Daksha, sends his emissaries to North India in Tibet, to invite the tribes that live there to Meluha.

The story tells how a tribal chief named Shiva saved them from their wars. It is set in 1900 BC., in the imaginary land of Meluha, which geographically lies in what the modern Indians call the Indus Valley Civilization and considered the near perfect empire created many centuries ago by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived. It is published by the Westland Publishing in February 2010. The Immortals of Meluha is the first novel of the Shiva Trilogy series by Amish Tripathi.
