One day Goddess Parvati was talking and chatting with her friends when incidentally she laughed and immediately, a man came into existence, Gradually this man assumed the form of a huge giant. Parvati named him Mamtasura and told him to worship Lord Vighnesh. She also gave him the Shadakshara Mantra (Vakratundaya hum).

Mamtasura thanked Parvati and went to practice severe penance and austerities. Unfortunately, he met Shamborasurawho taught Mamtasura all the Ascetic knowledge. After learning all these things he went to practise penance successful in pleasing Lord Vighnesha and took a boon of conquering the entire Trilok from him.

Mamtasura firstly put all these Gods in prison and then he even conquered Lord Vishnu and Shiva. Mamtasutra married the daughter of Shambarasura and started leading a happy life. All the gods were very sad at this but started worshipping Lord Vighnesha. Lord Vighnesha was pleased with their devotion, and blessed them.

Vighneshwar sent Narad Muni to Mamtasura and Narad Muni told Mantasura to stop harassing and inflicting pain on the innocent and to surrender to Vighneshwar but mamtasura had turned adamant. He refused to accept the proposal. He could not even reconcile where his Guru Shukaracharya tried to convince him. On this Lord Vighnesh became very angry and sent his Kamal Pushpa on the army of Mamtasura.

The entire army became unconscious because of the sonorific characteristic of the Kamal Pushpa. Seeing this Mamtasura became frightened. He fell on Vighneshwar's feet and begged for forgiveness. Compassionate Vighnesh blessed and forgave all his sins. He ordered him to got to Pataal Lok and never to return.All the Gods started singing the praised of Lord Vighnesha.
