Diti’s Demand and the Struggle for Lord Narayan’s Freedom

Diti questions Lord Shiv, asking why he took Rishi Kashyap away from her. Shukracharya approaches Diti with a plan to save Asur Lok, revealing that he has bound Lord Narayan and that only Diti can free him. He advises her to fight against Shivatva rather than Lord Shiv himself. Encouraged by this, Diti expresses her happiness, and Shukracharya assures her of his support.

Meanwhile, Goddess Parvati pleads with Diti to release Lord Narayan, warning against selfishness. Ganesh adds that it is not right for Lord Narayan to remain imprisoned. However, Shukracharya insists that it benefits the Asuras. Goddess Parvati reminds Diti that they were sisters in a past life and urges her to free Lord Narayan.

Shukracharya takes pleasure in seeing Shiv Shakti in a vulnerable position. However, Lord Shiv commands Goddess Parvati to ensure Diti releases Lord Narayan. Shukracharya proclaims that Shiv Shakti will lose, but Lord Shiv firmly declares that Diti and Shukracharya will not be allowed to leave without setting Lord Narayan free. Lord Narayan warns against any wrongdoing for his sake, but Lord Shiv reassures him that he will act justly. He then turns to Goddess Parvati, reminding her of her past life as Sati and her knowledge of the power Diti used to bind Rishi Kashyap. He instructs her to use that power to bind Diti and drag her back.

Goddess Parvati closes her eyes, invoking the same power. As she utters Diti’s name, Diti becomes bound and is pulled toward her. Struggling, Diti demands to be released, but Goddess Parvati orders her to free Lord Narayan. Shukracharya protests, calling it unfair, but Lord Shiv asserts that it is just. Diti stubbornly refuses, but Goddess Parvati warns her of dire consequences. Taking Diti away, she leaves Shukracharya behind, while Lord Shiv blocks his path.

Lord Narayan expresses his gratitude, saying he is fortunate to have a sister like Goddess Parvati. She soon returns with Diti and commands her once again to free Lord Narayan. When Diti refuses, Goddess Parvati declares that if she does not comply, she will have to undergo the same fate as Rishi Kashyap.
