Mahadev is impressed with Parvati's devotion and remarkable tenacity and accepts her as his wife. He feels sad for hurting Parvati and breaks into tears. Parvati blesses the pair of pigeons, who had supported her during her austerity, with immortality, and to live in the Amarnath cave forever. Mahadev explains the perception of love to Parvati and asks her to come along with him to Kailash to start their married life. But, Parvati refuses to go with him.
