As Devi Parvati prepares to leave, Lord Shiva softly requests her to take something with her, explaining that he doesn’t want the world to think that Mahakaleshwar let her go without a gift. With a gentle smile, Parvati says she desires nothing material—only a reflection of Lord Shiva himself. Moved by her pure wish, the divine reflection of Shiva lovingly joins her on her journey.
Elsewhere, Diti vents her growing frustration to Shukracharya, disheartened that despite their efforts, nothing has changed—they’ve once again faced defeat, and the influence of Shiv Shakti continues to grow stronger. Swarth adds that his powers seem less effective on humans now due to Shiv Shakti’s divine aura. Determined not to lose again, Diti devises a new strategy: to kidnap the Rishiwars from Rishi Kashyap’s ashram.
Upon reaching the sacred ashram, Shukracharya commands Swarth to use his magical powers to identify their targets. Swarth’s spell reveals select individuals by illuminating their heads in red, and he proceeds to trap them. Just then, Rishi Kashyap intervenes, scolding them for trying to abduct his disciples. He sternly warns Swarth that the divine will shall not allow such wrongdoing to go unpunished.
Diti steps forward to confront her husband. When Rishi Kashyap questions if she would really raise arms against him, she declares that she is no longer just his wife—she is the Asur Mata now, and duty compels her to act. Kashyap cautions her that if she attacks him without justice, her pativrata shakti (devotional power as a wife) will begin to fade. Despite this warning, Diti lifts her weapon and initiates combat with him. Observing the moment, Lord Narayan remarks that Rishi Kashyap’s sacrifice and bravery will echo through time.
In a surprising turn, Diti summons a venomous serpent that manages to entangle Rishi Kashyap. The Asur camp rejoices in their apparent victory. However, Kashyap calmly reminds the serpent of their bond—he is its creator and father—and calls out its betrayal. With divine authority, he curses the serpent. After this, Diti commands her forces to leave, and the Asurs retreat with the captured Rishiwars.
Meanwhile, at a tranquil pond, Devi Parvati gazes lovingly at the reflection of Shiva in the water. Smiling, she tells the reflection that it holds the same serene beauty as Lord Shiva himself. She feels immensely fortunate and expresses that no woman in the world could be luckier. As she speaks, the reflection smiles back, symbolizing the eternal love and unity they share.
Later, Diti attempts to persuade the captured students of Rishi Kashyap to join her cause. Surprisingly, they agree. When Shukracharya inquires about their powers, one claims he can run faster than the wind, while another boasts he can hypnotize anyone at will. To demonstrate, he stuns Swarth and makes him chant “Har Har Mahadev,” leaving everyone astonished. Pleased, Diti instructs the student to stop Devi Parvati, and Shukracharya tells him to proceed to Kailash.
