Jai Sri Ram,
There is great rejoicing at my father's house, O Lord, if you grant me leave, I would fain go and see it, O storehouse of compassion, Lord Shiva replied, Your suggestion is good and has commended itself to me as well, but the anomaly is that your father has sent no invitation to us, Daksha has invited all his daughters but because of the grudge he bears to me you too have been ignored, in the court of Brahma he once took offense at my behavior,
That is why he insults us even now, if you go there uninvited, Bhavani, all decorum, affection, and honor will be cast to the winds, it is no doubt true one should call on one's friend, master, father, or teacher without waiting for a formal invitation, yet where someone nurses a grudge against you, you reap no good by going there, Sambhu expostulated with Sati in so many ways, but as fate had willed if wisdom would not be drawn on her, the lord repeated once more that if she went to her father's place uninvited, he anticipated no good results from it,
Having reasoned with her in ways more than one when Hara at last perceived that the daughter of Daksha was not going to stay, the slayer of Tripura detailed a few of his principal attendants as her escort and sent her away, When Bhavani reached her father's house, no one greeted her for fear of incurring Daksha's displeasure, her mother was the solitary figure who meets her kindly, her sisters received her with rage at the sight of Sati, Sati then went to have a look at the sacrifice, but nowhere did she find any share of oblations set apart for Sambhu, then did she realize the force of Sankara's warning, her heart burnt within her at the thought of the insult offered to one's own people is the most painful of them all, the thought of the same made Sati furious, her mother tried to pacify Her in many ways,
The insult to Shiva was something unbearable, Her heart could not, therefore, be pacified, then, sharply reproaching the whole assembly, she spoke in angry accents, Hear ya elsers of the assembly and all great sages, All of you who have reviled Sankara or heard him reviled must forthwith reap the fruit of your sin and my father too shall fully repent, wherever you hear a saint, Sambhu or Vishnuvilified, the rule is that if it lies within your power you should tear out the tongue of the reviler or you should run away closing your ears, the slayer of Tripura, the great Lord Shiva is a universal spirit, he is the father of the universe and is beneficial to all, it is him that my stupid father vilified and this body of mine has sprung from the loins of Daksha, therefore, installing in my heart Lord Shiva, who bears the moon on his forehead and a bull as his emblem, I shall immediately quite this body, as she spoke thus burnt her body with the fire of Yoga, a plaintive cry rose from the whole assembly, hearing the Sati's death, the attendants of Sambhu began to destroy the sacrifice, seeing the sacrifice being destroyed, the great sage Bhrigu protected it,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
