Bhagirath endeavours to protect the environment and the deities from Tarakasur's attack. Later, Rishi Dadhichi tells him to meet Mahadev. Devraj Indra tries to conspire against Parvati and Mahadev, but in vain. On seeing Devraj Indra's interruption in Parvati's sadhana, Mahadev gets furious. Despite Lord Brahma's apology on behalf of Devraj Indra, Mahadev punishes Devraj Indra. Mahadev deputes Nandi to take care of Parvati, but Parvati asks Nandi not to disturb in her sadhana.
