"Behen, mai tumhari peeda samajhta hu kintu sansaar ke vinash se Vinayak punah toh nahi aajayega na." Narayan said. At that Mata Adi Shakti angrily snapped her head at him.

"Aap meri peeda uss din samjhenge Narayan jab aapko bhi alp-aayu santaan ke bhaye mei jeena padega!" Mata Adi Shakti said.

"Mujhe swikar hai, kintu shaant ho jao behen." Narayan said with a sad smile.

Tears kept falling from the eyes of Shri Ram as he sat beside the cradle of his daughter Rameshwari, who was alseep after the tiresome day.

After so long he had gotten his happiness, only to be broken in 12 days. He now understood why Bharadwaj couldn't give her the blessing of long life.

He wanted to compose himself but the words of Vasisth, calling her Alp-ayu rang in his ears again and again.

"Kab tak yu ashru bahayenge Nath ?" Devi Sita asked walking towards him and sitting beside.

"Pehle Rajya se niskaashit kiya gaya, fir Pitashree ko kho diya, van van bhataka toh tumhara Haran ho gaya, tumhe praapt karne ke baad Mahadev ne vardaan mei Rameshwari diya. Socha sab thik ho jayega. Socha dukh ke din samaapt ho jayenge. Kintu keval 12 din bhi sukh mere aangan mei nahi raha." Shri Ram said.

He looked at Devi Sita and hugged her tightly. Shedding tears in her embrace as she caressed him, controlling herself from breaking down also.

"Apni santaan ka alp-ayu hona sabse badi peeda hai Sitey.... Mai nahi seh payunga ise... Mujhse nahi hoga Sitey." Shri Ram sobbed.

"Dhairya dhare Nath, yadi aap hi aise sahas kho denge, toh sadharan manushya kya karenge ?" Devi Sita said consoling him.

On the otherside in Kailash, even Mata Parvati was saddened by the tears of his brother.

"Maine krodh mei aake Bhrata Narayan ko bheeshan shraap de diya hai. Jagat Mata hu mai, santaan khone ki peeda se bhali bhaati parichit hu. Fir bhi maine aisa shraap krodh vash inhe de diya." She said.

"Dukhi na ho Uma. Parmeshwari ho tum, tumhare kahe har vachan, har shraap aur har vardaan sadev kalyaan hi karta hai." Mahadev said.

"Kintu iss samaye mai ek Parmeshwari nahi apetu ek behen ke roop se soch rahi hu. Mujhe Shri Ram ka kasht ab har nahi sakti kintu use kam awashya kar sakti hu." Mata Parvati said.

"Tum jo bhi karogi Gauri, usse Jagat ka uddhar hi hoga." Mahadev said.

Taking that as a cue, Mata Parvati disappeared from there and appeared in front of Shri Ram and Devi Sita, in her Durga form.

Both of them got on their knees and bowed down to the great goddess, the all mother.

"Shri Ram, aapko yeh dukh mere dwara bahut poorv diye ek shraap ke karan mila hai. Mai yaha uss shraap ka nivaran karne nahi, apetu yeh sunishchit karne aayi hu ki mera diya shraap aapki putri Rameshwari ke jeevan-udeshya mei badha na bane." She said.

Shri Ram and Devi Sita looked at her with joined hands, hope gleaming in their moistened eyes as Mata Durga picked the baby from the cradle.

In the arms of the great goddess herself, the eyes of Rameshwari opened as she looked at the all mother with a smile.

"Hey Raghunandan Ram, mai tumhari putri Rameshwari ko yeh vardaan deti hu ki yeh Yudh mei aparajit hogi ! Mai vardaan deti hu ki kisi bhi stithi mei Ram-Suta avadhya hogi ! Mai vardaan deti hu divya se divya shakti ho ya sukshm se sukshm, chaahe woh Paramatma ki ho ya Asuro ki, koi bhi shakti Rameshwari ka ahit nahi kar sakti." Mata Durga blessed.

"Koti-Koti dhanyawaad Mata." Both Shri Ram and Devi Sita bowed.

Mata Durga smiled and looked at the Ram-suta in her arms.

"Dharm ke maarg par chalna Rameshwari aur abhay rehna, tumhari Raksha mai swayam karungi." She told.
