Amarsri and Srinav were talking with Mahadev before leaving to Chaitanya Lok.

"Mahadev, jeevo ko apne Karmo ki chinta nahi hai kyuki unhe pata hai ki unhe unke karmo ka fal unhe iss jeevan mei nahi milega." Srinav said.

"Iss karan bahut se jeev, adharm ke maarg par agrasar ho rahe hai. Santulan bigad raha hai iske karan." Amarsri said.

"MAHADEV !" Mata Parvati stomped there angrily.

Amarsri and Srinav looked at her confused and then at eachother, wondering why so suddenly she became so angry.

"Kya huya Uma ?" Mahadev asked.

"Kya huya ?! Maine sabke liye bhojan banaya kintu mujhe swayam bhojan prapt nahi huya ! Aap jaante the ki mai bhook se vyakul ho rahi thi kintu fir bhi aapne mere liye bhojan nahi chhoda !" Mata Parvati said angrily.

Mahadev didn't say anything, he knew this was part of Narayan's leela. But this just angered Mata Parvati even more.

"Uchit hai ! Yadi aap meri kshuta shaant nahi karenge toh mai swayam apni kshuta shaant karungi !" Mata Parvati said.

Suddenly the winds started howling as Mata Parvati became as tall as a mountain, she opened her mouth and everything started getting sucked inside of her.

Srinav and Amarsri held on to eachother, as they felt pull from her mouth. Trees, mountains, rivers, everything went in her mouth.

The more went inside her mouth the more her hunger increased. Suddenly Mahadev too hot sucked inside her mouth.

"Pitashree !" Amarsri screamed in panic bringing Mata Parvati to her sense.

Mata Parvati looked at herself and instead of luxurious garments found a plain white saree, instead of gold ornaments found rudraksh, her luscious dark hair became grey.

She then realised what she had done, she just swallowed her own husband. She was not Parvati anymore she was now Devi Dhumavati.

"Pitashree..." Amarsri fainted, not able to tale it anymore.

"Priye ? Priye !?" Srinav shook her.

"Y-yeh maine kya kardiya ? Apni bhook mitane ke liye mai yeh kya kar baithi ? Apne swami ko nigal gayi ?" Mata Dhumavati muttered.

"Mata yeh aapne kya kiya !?" Srinav asked.

Burning in guilt and remorse, Mata Dhumavati closed her eyes and started repenting her sin. And that's when Mahadev came out of her.

Devi Dhumavati transformed back into Mata Parvati. Amarsri too gained her consciousness and her eyes fell on Mahadev.

"Pitashree ?" She said relieved.

At that Mata Parvati too opened her eyes at that was relieved seeing her Mahadev, safe and sound.

"Swami mujhe kshama kardijiye, aavesh mei aake na jane mai kya kar baithi. Mujhe kshama karde." Mata Parvati apologized.

"Gauri, kshama maangne ki awashyakta nahi hai. Jo huya woh keval Narayan ki ek leela thi, jise tumhe apna saptam-mahavidhya roop prapt ho." Mahadev said.

"Leela ?" Mata Parvati muttered.

"Uma, tum jagat-mata ho iss liye sabhi jeevo ke prati tumhare andar apaar sneh hai. Iss liye tumhara har swaroop, Srijan aur palan hetu prakat huya hai. Kitnu apni santaano ko dandit karna bhi aniwarya hai. Kintu tum ek Mata, patni, behen, putri bhi ho, inn rishito ke moh ke karan tumhare liye dand dena kathin ho jata hai. Kintu apne iss roop mei tum apne bhavnao ko sajj kar nyaye karne mei samarth rahogi." Mahadev said.

"Kintu swami, mere pratyek swaroop mei aap mere saath rehte hai. Kintu iss roop mei mujhe aapka sanidhya prapt nahi huya. Kya iss liye mai itni kathor ho gayi ?" Mata Parvati asked.

"Uma, iss swaroop mei tum akele hi rahogi, har rishto se mukt. Kyuki tumhara jhookav keval nyaye ki oor hoga. Iss swaroop mei tum sansaar ko unke dushkarmo hetu Akaal, mahamari, dukh, kalesh adi ka dand dogi. Tumhara yeh swaroop dhumra ke roop mei bhi hoga, iss liye iss swaroop ko Dhumavati ke naam se jana jayega." Mahadev said.

"Mata, yadi aap jeevo ko unke dushkarmo ka dand dengi toh woh sab adharm ka maarg tyag ke dharm ka palan karne hetu prerit honge." Srinav said.

"Satya vachan. Mata Sansaar ka santulan tab hi bana rahega jab adhik se adhik jeev dharm ke maarg par agrasar honge." Amarsri said.

"Jagat-mata hu, apni santaano ko uchit par maarg lana mera daitwa hai. Iss liye mai yeh Dhumavati swaroop dharan kar nyaye karungi." Mata Parvati said.

FUN FACT - DEVI ALAXMI IS THE SUPERIOR FORM OF MATA DHUMAVATI.

Mata Dhumavati is described as a giver of siddhis, a rescuer from all troubles and granter of all desires and rewards, including ultimate knowledge and moksh. Mata Dhumavati's worship is prescribed to ward off all the negativity that she stands

But Devi Alaxmi on the other hand doesn't do the same. She just gives negativity.

ANOTHER FUN FACT - Married people are advised not to worship Mata Dhumavati. It is said that her worship creates a feeling of wanting solitude and distaste of worldly things, which is considered as a characteristic of the spiritual quest.

Thus, Mata Dhumavati's worship is appropriate for world renouncers who roam as lone wanderers and widows who parallel the life of world renouncers.
