Lord Shiv advocates for understanding a wife’s decisions rather than dismissing them. A shared glance between Lord Narayan and Mata Lakshmi speaks volumes, and the others take their leave.
Meanwhile, Chandradev is haunted by Mahishaasur’s vow to annihilate the Devas. He relays this ominous threat to Devraj Indra, who chastises the Devas. Despite their divine status, they were threatened by Mahishaasur. He warns that the Asurs are amassing power, urging the Devas to bolster their own strength.
In the realm of the Asurs, Shukracharya reveals to Raktabija that his rebirth is a gift from Brahmadev’s boon. He urges Raktabija to accept that Brahmadev’s boon dictates he will face death twice. Diti reminds Raktabija of his second chance, urging him not to squander it. Shumbh solicits Raktabija’s aid in fortifying the Asur realm. Raktabija, aware that he won’t get another chance, vows to prove his worth in this life. He boasts of his power, claiming to surpass even Lord Shiv and Mata Parvati.

In Kailash, Mata Parvati reminisces about her time with Kartikeya, a sentiment shared by Shiv. He remembers sending Kartikeya to the ashram for his studies. Mata Parvati finds Lord Shiv deep in thought, and when Nandi inquires about his demeanor, she explains that Lord Shiv is lost in thoughts of Kartikeya. She requests Nandi to leave Lord Shiv undisturbed. Nandi departs, and Mata Parvati is drawn to the sound of weeping. She finds Devasena, tears streaming down her face, in front of the Shivling.
Devasena implores Lord Shiv for guidance on how to forget Kartikeya. Mata Parvati comforts Devasena, wiping away her tears. She assures Devasena that the storm will pass, and in the end, love and truth will triumph. Devasena questions whether her love will emerge victorious, and Mata Parvati encourages her to have faith. She assures Devasena that she will indeed become her daughter-in-law. Overjoyed, Devasena expresses her desire to see Mata Parvati’s Adi Shakti avatar.
Mata Parvati steps away, leaving Devasena disheartened. However, her spirits lift when Mata Parvati transforms into Adi Shakti. Devasena questions why Adi Shakti doesn’t eliminate the Asurs who separated Kartikeya from them. She laments that even Devraj Indra is constantly under stress due to the Asurs. She argues that the Asurs, who perpetually cause trouble, deserve to perish. Lord Shiv overhears this, and Devasena implores Adi Shakti to eradicate the forces of evil.
Precap: cries for help echo from distressed women. Mata Parvati informs Lord Shiv that she must depart. Lord Shiv assists Mata Parvati in preparing, declaring that this avatar will be known as Kaushiki.
