Vishnu tells Brahma and Narad that Daksh has cursed Mahadev but not Shakti who is Sati and by worshipping her, Mahadev's anger can be calmed down. Vishnu insists Daksh to create a new planet, substituting Chandrama before his death. To create a new planet, Daksh removes the Rekha around Sati as she is the only one blessed with all the virtues required to bring soil from river Saraswati. Rishi Kashyap and Maharshi Atri plead Rishi Markandeya to chant Maha Mrutunjaya Mantra.
