Synopsis

Lord Shiva and Parvati found themselves together once more, sharing a quiet communion. Elsewhere, Lakshmi grew troubled by the weight of Vrinda’s curse upon Vishnu. In the forest, Dashanan meditated, his thoughts fixed on Shiva. Shurpanakha confided in Vibhishana, voicing her suspicion that Dashanan sought to gain favor with Shiva for purposes known only to himself.
