When Aaryamaan was born, the drought-struck Aariyana experienced its first showers in many years. The distressed civilians looked up to the boy and believed that he is their saviour and will tide them over in all adverse situations.
However, Aaryamaan's step-mother and Emperor Jarant's first-wife queen Nasa gets extremely jealous of Rasa and Aaryamaan. She also gives birth to a mutated non-human child simultaneously when Rasa gives birth to Aaryamaan. A further jealous Nasa makes more than one attempt to kill the baby Aaryamaan. Queen Rasa realizes that as long as Aaryamaan lives with her in Thar, there is danger to his life. She instead instructs a helper robot called Tobo to take the child to planet Gurukshetra, where the 750-year-old Hoshin, a direct descendant of Aariyana would raise Aaryamaan. Hoshin trains Aaryamaan in fighting and other practices of a warrior. After learning all he has to learn from Hoshin, Aaryamaan receives a special armour suit, which can be opened from its showcase only by Aaryamaan's hand print. Aaryamaan first visits his Thar planet and finds out that Emperor Jarant has been overthrown by Nasa, appointing her half-human, half-beast son as a dummy king while making her the Royal Mother.
