Ganesha seeks Parvati's permission to go outside Kailash. Parvati allows him to go, as Mahadev asks her to do so. Mahadev tells a story to Parvati about his worshiper, Ghushm, whose sister kills her son, Sukarm, out of jealousy. Mahadev appears in front of Ghushm, as she does not stop worshipping him even at the time of her son's funeral. Mahadev becomes impressed with Ghushm's devotion towards him and revives her son. Mahadev establishes the Ghushmeshwar jyotirling.
