In her Adi Shakti form, Goddess Parvati threatens Gajasur, vowing to end his life to liberate Mahadev. Accepting his fate, Gajasur expresses a desire to die at the hands of Adi Shakti as a means of repenting for his wrongdoing in imprisoning Mahadev. Meanwhile, Shukracharya and Diti attempt to intervene, fearing that Gajasur’s death will lead to Mahadev’s release. However, Mahishi intervenes, insisting that Gajasur’s choice to face death is part of his path to redemption. She uses her maternal powers to restrain Shukracharya and Diti, despite their objections.
As the battle unfolds, Gajasur taunts Adi Shakti, challenging her strength. The fight escalates, but just as Adi Shakti strikes, Gajasur chants “Har Har Mahadev” and surrenders, creating confusion for both Adi Shakti and Narayan. At that moment, Mahadev emerges from Gajasur’s heart, restoring cosmic balance as devotees revere the Shivling. Adi Shakti discovers from Mahadev that Gajasur’s actions stemmed from genuine repentance and a commitment to secrecy.
Acknowledging his past sins, Gajasur reflects on his arrogance and selfishness. Mahadev reveals that Gajasur’s pride had made him susceptible to manipulation by Shukracharya. In a moment of vulnerability, Gajasur asks for forgiveness and seeks liberation through death by Mahadev’s trishul. Though he is pained by the thought of harming a devotee, Mahadev resolves to honor Gajasur’s wish, granting him the redemption he seeks.
No precap.
