When Devi Sati left her body, Lord Shiva spent all his time meditating in the caves. During the time, a demon called Tarakasura pleased Brahma with tremendous austerities and received the boon of being immortal. He was blessed that only the son of Lord Shiva would kill him. Thereafter, the demon became the ruler of three worlds. The Gods made a plan and requested Devi Sati to come back in her body. They went to the Himalayas and began a yagya, chanted the mantras, and made offerings as well. Pleased by the yagya, Maa agreed to their request. She was born in the home of Himalaya and became Shailaputri, the daughter of mountain. She performed Tapasya, pleased Shiva and married him.
