He also warns Daksh that if she is not touched by Mahadev by next day's sunset then Sati will go through Chir Yoga Nidra after which there exists no hope of her consciousness. Daksh refuses to take the help of Shiva and announces to give half of his energy and kingdom to those who cure Sati. Rishi Kashyap travels to Kailash seeking Mahadev's help.
