Menavati is saved by Parvati’s prayers and tells her daughter that she will not come in the way of her devotion to Shiva. When Rishi Dadhichi tells Him Naresh that Parvati will wed Shiva, the king refuses to accept it and says she is promised to someone else. Can Narad Muni convince Him Naresh to change his mind?
Him Naresh goes to war, leaving Parvati and Menavati in Rishi Dadhichi’s ashram. Tarakasur sends out spies to find Parvati and is angry when he fails to get any information. Menavati and Rishi Dadhichi are surprised to see Parvati play the damru that is Shiva’s favoured instrument. What could it mean?
Indra asks Ganga the reason for her sadness and she tells him that she wishes to marry Mahadev. Indra, in turn, reveals to Ganga the facts about the birth of Adi Shakti. The other half of Shiva is born as the daughter of Him Naresh and Menavati. Tarakasur learns this and sends Bahurupa to destroy the child.
