Parvati becomes elated as Narad Muni informs her that Rishi Vashishtha has directed Ganesha and Kartikey to find the ideal house. Ganga is devastated as the people are soiling her water and complains to Mahadev. Mahadev becomes infuriated and announces that people who soil Ganga's water are doomed. He states that Ganga will have to stop flowing, and the time has come for the destruction of the world. Lord Vishnu requests Mahadev to give a second thought about the same.
