The question that Sage Narada asked already had been irking Parvati for quite a while ever since the game started but she was choosing to ignore as she didn't want to offend her lord any more. But narada's question strength her doubt more that something wrong was surely there. She looked up at Lord's face awaiting for a convincing explanation.

Mahadev on the other hand was not at all prepared to face such a question because he didn't find anything abnormal in winning with one point each time. Bholenath's thought never goes in complicated way.
"what kind of question is this Devarshi? game of dice is always unpredictable it never can be said how much the player will gather or in how much point one can win or lose , its upto the fate of the person playing chausar , its uncontrollable"..Mahadev was truly surprised

Maheshwar's explanation didn't satisfy Parvati's query. She was expecting a better justification but got disappointed.
"Swami but difference of only one point each time? that also didn't happen ever" Parvati couldn't control herself anymore

"Are you doubting on me Devi? I didn't expect this from you" Mahadev started getting annoyed
"why she never can be satisfied? how many more eons it will take for me to understand actually what makes her happy?" thinks Shiva

"Narayana Narayana I think i should leave now my lord will be back on any other time" disappeared Narada seeing his plan is on work but neither Mahadev nor Devi Parvati paid attention in that..

"Swami , continued Uma, before I doubt on you i would like to immolate myself again, but then why don't you free me from these disturbing thoughts?why did you came back with a new dice and won each stakes in only one point and for what ? see you yourself are creating this doubts, tell me how can i refrain myself from questioning you?" Mahadev frowned at Parvati's question but didn't respond, he was not feeling like talking to her any more
Parvati waited for a while to get answer but seeing no response from him she bites her lip
"fine my lord , i will find the answer myself"
she closed her eyes and through her inner vision she got aware of Narayan's intervention and gifting the dice".
"ohh brother Narayana , so he is also involved?"opened eyes Shakti

"Parvati now you are going too far, at first you were accusing me and now you are bringing My Lord too? its unfair why can't you just accept that you have lost the game?why this hesitation to face the truth? Shiva's words pinched Parvati on heart this time but Shiva was totally confused about Parvati's accusation.

"Swami, don't you know that i myself wanted to lose but if only it was a fair game?..Parvati still tried to keep calm

"now what do you mean by fair game? are you trying to say i won in unfair way? so are you calling me cheater?" shouted Shiva losing his patience
but Parvati though remained momentarily silent but this time it seemed she won't give up easily

In Vaikunth Devi Lakshmi really got worried seeing the current situation.
"Narayana , Narayana, my Lord it seemed i have succeed to create rift between Mahadev and mata Parvati, now everything is upto you " Narata appeared on vaikunth

"Swami Devi Parvati has come to know about your contribution in Chausar and Mahadev is trying to defend you , don't you think you should be in kailash right now ? Lakshmi's tension was getting high

"you are right Devi, i need to help my Lord now "Vishnu grinned mysteriously Narada smirked sensing Narayana is upto something again. Devi lakshmi gave a fade up expression on her husband's never ending mischief
Vishnu disappeared

In Kailash matter was becoming worst. Mahadev understood that Parvati started believing that he was involved in cheating.
"why parvati is so desperate to prove me wrong? thinks Shiva

"why Mahadev is so desperate to defeat me that he has to take help of cheating that too involving brother Narayana"..thinks Uma
the very thought was so disturbing that she was not finding word to express
"
don't keep quite Parvati, i demand an answer , speak up do you really think i did anything wrong?" Mahadev lost his temper

"No Mahadev , it was me , not you" the answer came not from Parvati but for her brother who have appeared in kailash after long..Shiva got relieved to see his saviour from Parvati's never-ending questions..

"oh Narayana you reached at right time" exclaimed Shiva..
Parvati looked at her brother but didn't reacted

"Sister Parvati, what you are assuming is right, i have helped My Lord to win , this dice had moved ad per my wish but Mahadev was not at all aware of my plan , don't blame him for my deed"

his clarification put both Shiva and Parvati in confusion. Mahadev never thought in this way that dice gifted by Vishnu could represent his soul he considered it only as a sign of his good wish.

Parvati on the other hand was failing to get what was the need to create such a mess?
" why brother ?when i was ready to give everything back what was the necessity of creating such a situation of misunderstanding?"

"Sister whatever happened today was needed to teach mankind about the truth of life what future will remember as a lesson. in today's game neither Mahadev won nor Parvati lost, the dice moved according to my wish , you both didn't have control over the game , similarly life is like the game of dice , with full of unexpected twists and turns , one can't control own life, unpredictability is the ultimate truth of life , i beg an apology to my lord and my sister for spoiling the game but to create an instance for the Universe to show true nature of life i had to do this Leela"
..Vishnu's words reminded of the day of Kurukshetra war when as Krishna he showed his viswaroopam to Arjun.
for few moment both Mahadev and Parvati remained silent to honor the creator of Shrimad Bhagbat Gita"

"No Narayan , you needn't beg any apology , future people will remember even supreme souls are not free from the dice played by destiny , this lesson will be remembered till the Srishti exists"..Mahadev returned to usual calmness
"Parvati hope your all doubt has been cleared or is there any question still left? ..asked Shiva smiling..

"No" Goddess nodded and quietly left the place.
somehow Lord's attitude still seemed disturbing to her. to calm herself down she chose to leave for Manas Sarovar again
