As they got back, Monkey noticed a big flaw-Master was missing! They scouted the entire forest
but came up with empty hands. Durga turned herself and Monkey invisible and they went to Mahishasura’s
cave to rescue Piggy and Sandy. The cave was empty and smelled of cow manure. They found a hidden
door carved out of rock and, yanked it open. There were lots of hostages, and they could see Piggy and
Sandy but no Monk. “He questioned them “Where’s Master? They pointed to a concealed stairway and
Monkey scurried down, cautious as a cat. He could see bodies hanging on the walls and the Monk was one
of them. He untied him and went back to free Piggy and Sandy with the Monk following him. Abruptly, a
shadow popped up and punched him, it was Mahishasura! He bawled “Durga!” and she appeared. They
battled Mahishasura together and Monkey used his magic hairs to create armies of monsters. At last, Durga
pierced Mahishasura’s heart with her sharp swords and she triumphantly eliminated the demon Mahishasura!
The pilgrims expressed their gratitude to Goddess Durga and they continued their journey to the west.
