She made him indulge in a dance in such a way that he touched his own head and vanished. Every God started praising Lord Vishnu and the beauty of Mohini. This incident overwhelmed Lord Shiva so much that he immediately visited Vishnu along with his wife Parvati.He asked him to take the form of Mohini again.
