Shridhar and the holy cave
After the Goddess leaves the community feast, Pandit Shridhar longs to see her again. She appears in a dream, shows him the way to a cave in the Trikuta mountains and asks him to end his fast.
Shridhar searches the mountains and reaches the cave, where he sees the three pindis. The Goddess reveals her presence in them and grants him the right to worship her there. He spends the rest of his life serving her at the cave.
