Menavati asks Parvati to stop Mahadev's pooja, however Narad conveys to Menavati that this ritual is very auspicious. On the other hand, Mahadev challenges Parvati that she cannot perform the pooja. Parvati strives to make the shivling, but in vain. Nandi prays Mahadev to accept Parvati, but Mahadev refuses him. Lord Vishnu helps Parvati to make the shivling. Mahadev intends to strictly examine Parvati's love. Narad advises to Parvati to proceed to Maansarovar Yatra.
