Despite their efforts to rescue Kartikey, Jimbhranasur taunts them, claiming invincibility against their powers. Parvati’s brave yet unsuccessful attempt to defeat him renders her unconscious, leaving Mahadev grief-stricken.

Her journey involves intense penance with the aim of marrying Mahadev, culminating in a fierce battle with Jimbhranasur. This confrontation tests her resilience, faith, and determination, making her a beacon of divine power and balance in the ongoing saga.
