Devarishi Narada visits Bhagawan Shri Shiva, Devi Maa Parvati, and their sons, Bhagwan Shri Ganesan, and Bhagwan Shri Kartikeyan,and presents Shiva with a fruit. He decides to give it to his wife, who, in turn, decides to give it to her sons. But Shiva wants her to give it to only one. As a result, both the sons are put to a test, and Ganesan is declared the winner. Kartikeyan gets offended and decides to leave, followed closely by his parents and brother. Parvati catches up to him and narrates a series of stories involving herself and Shiva, including how Shiva battled a giant shark; assisted a singer in overcoming a formidable opponent; as well as Shiva's anger towards his father-in-law, Dakshan.
