"I wish for this child!"
"He shall have knowledge like Brahma, a holy radiance like you, my brother, as well as the purity, innocence, and kindness of my husband, Mahadeva!"
Parvati lifted her head.
Her hands gently came together as she prayed.
Vishnu showed a smile.
"As you wish!"
As you wish! As you wish! As you wish!
Faint voices suddenly rose, echoing through the jungle, ringing through the mountains, resounding in all directions within this land.
Where the voice of the Protector God passed,
Bright green sprouts broke through the soil, bent stems straightened again, and pale yellow flowers bloomed.
For a moment, all things revived, and a scene of vibrant life emerged.
Whoosh!
Vishnu, amidst his smile, slowly lifted his right hand.
Within his palm, a deep red circular mark emitted golden light, which shone down instantly, forming a pot before Parvati.
"Sister!"
"This contains sacred turmeric!"
"Parvati, use this turmeric powder to create your child!"
