Harihareshwari is finally united with both Narayan and Mahadev. She maintains the balance of the universe from Harihar lok, sitting on Nagraj Karkotaka with 4 young Brahmins serving her.
Being the one for whom Narayan wrecked havoc in Patal lok, she...
"Kyu uss Harihareshwari ka naam leti rehti hai tu din bhar !?" The demon Guhankashyap asked his daughter angrily.
"Yeh meri bhakti hai pitashree." Gunakshi said, she was about 8 years old and a devout devotee of Harihareshwari.
If you didn't figure it out by their names, Guhankashyap is a descendent of Guhasur. He executed his wife on the charges of betrayal as she gave him a daughter instead of a son. The arrogant Guhankashyap ruled Guharanya ruthlessly, torturing men and making their wives as his play things.
He never like Gunakshi but due to her devotion for Amarsri, the feminine physical embodiment of Harihar, the same Harihar that killed his ancestor Guhasur, he hated her now.
Gunakshi never got the love of her father or mother so she turned to devotion as an escape and found the peace and love in it.
"KYA PRAPT HOGA ISSE !? BHAKTI KARNI HAI TOH MERI KAR !!" Guhankashyap yelled.
"Bhakti Bhagwaan ki hoti hai, vyaktiyo ki nahi." Gunakshi said. Guhankashyap angrily picked up the idol of Harihareshwari and threw it on the ground breaking it.
"Aap jitni bhi baar unki murti todenge pitashree, mai utni hi baar banayungi. Aap todte-todte thak jayenge kintu mai banate-banate nahi thakungi." Gunakshi said picking up the broken pieces of the idol. Guhankashyap angrily stomped out of their.
Gunakshi sighed and placed the broken pieces on a plate and poured some water over it. The clay melted in the water and Gunakshi molded and shaped it again in the form of a female idol representing Harihareshwari, one side like Narayan and one side like shiva, with four hands, left one in front carrying trishul, left one behind carrying Khadag, right hand behind carrying chakra and right hand was in a -giving blessings position-.
Gunakshi carved a smile and a third eye, she then placed it under the son for it to dry. In the meantime she readied some clothes and jewellery for the idol. When the idol dried she picked it up and admired it.

She happily went back to the mandir in her room and placed it there and cheerily puts clothes and jewellery on it.
She smiles looking at the idol which looked even better than before. She offers some flowers in the feet of the idol and started chanting mantras, worshipping her. -- Guhankashyap was in the throne room Shukracharya and Andhakarini approached him.

"Aur nahi toh kya? Tumhari apni hi putri Harihareshwari ki aradhna kar rahi hai, yeh tumhare hit mai nahi. Kahi aisa na ho ki yeh balika kal tumhare kaal ka karan bane." Shukracharya said.
"Mai jitna bhi prayas karta hu, sab vyarth ho jata hai acharya. Uski bhakti keval badhti hai." Guhankashyap said disappointed.
"Uska upaye mere paas hai Maharaj." Andhakarini grinned evily.
