Mahishasur misbehaves with Parvati and challenges Kartikey to fight with him. Parvati becomes infuriated. She attains the form of Mahishasur Mardini and kills Mahishasur. Parvati apologises to Mahadev for her undignified behaviour but Mahadev appreciates her for killing Mahishasur. Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi and Narad Muni also praise Parvati.
