The episode opens with Lord Shiv and Goddess Parvati arriving to intervene with Kanyakumari, only to be taken aback by her intense tapasya (meditation). Lord Shiv insists that Kanyakumari must merge with Goddess Parvati and vows not to allow any of her avatars to remain separated. Armed with his bow and arrow, he attempts to disrupt Kanyakumari’s tapasya, but she remains unresponsive. Lord Shiv, frustrated, urges her to awaken. King Bharat advises Lord Shiv to exercise patience, suggesting that Kanyakumari’s journey may be determined by destiny, and attempts to wake her might be in vain. Despite this, Lord Shiv resolves to make another attempt. Goddess Parvati reassures him that Kanyakumari won’t awaken, urging him to remain calm and accept the situation.
Meanwhile, Narad laments his role in the discord among the divine, describing himself as the world’s sinner for separating Shiv Shakti. He expresses deep regret and feels unworthy of life, drawing sympathy from Lord Narayan. Contrastingly, Ragu praises Shukracharya for the division, claiming it as their greatest victory, with Diti echoing his sentiments.
Goddess Parvati reminds Lord Shiv that Kanyakumari’s devotion will be cherished by generations. She encourages him to allow Kanyakumari to continue her tapasya. Lord Shiv vows to keep vigil over her by placing his shivling nearby.
Narad, overwhelmed by guilt, falls at Lord Shiv’s feet, pleading for punishment for his betrayal. He desires to share in the pain of Shiv Shakti. Lord Shiv lifts Narad and suggests they attend the Kumbh snan together. Despite Narad’s self-proclaimed sinfulness, Lord Shiv reassures him that he was ensnared by Shukracharya’s manipulations, simplifying the gravity of his actions.
Goddess Parvati affirms that Narad’s situation was influenced by circumstances, thereby mitigating his supposed transgression. She instructs him to participate in the Kumbh, and Lord Shiv notes that Shiv Shakti has forgiven him. Relieved, Narad expresses gratitude for their understanding. Shortly after, Kartikeya arrives to join them, mentioning his release following Jimrasur’s defeat, and they all prepare to partake in the Kumbh snan together.
As the devotees express their gratitude for Shiv Shakti’s presence, Lord Narayan announces the day’s significance, chanting “Har har Mahadev.” Lord Shiv notes that today, the divine love’s new dimension has been revealed, and couples who bathe in the Kumbh will receive blessings from the deities. The devotees join in chanting, celebrating this moment.
Goddess Parvati suggests that Lord Shiv also partake in the snan along with men, while she leads the women to another location. After a moment of collective worship, they proceed to bathe. Later, Goddess Parvati requests a promise from Lord Shiv to strengthen their love, and he embraces her warmly in agreement.
Meanwhile, Jimrasur stirs, prompting Diti to inquire about his state. He reveals that he is on the brink of death but knows who can lead the Asurs—a figure named Arunasur. Shukracharya questions Jimrasur, while Diti implores him to disclose more. Jimrasur divulges that he has hidden Arunasur in a cave and encourages Diti to find him swiftly.
The episode concludes with this unsettling revelation.
**Precap:** Goddess Parvati informs Lord Shiv that she must depart to protect the devotees.
