Sloka:

Having listened to her father’s impious words, Sathi returned to Kailasa in haste, prostrated in front of Lord Siva and, with anger, fear and sorrow agitating her mind, spoke thus.

To speak ill of the Almighty

alas, why did it ever occur to you!

because bad days have befallen you,

this enmity with gods has surfaced

 

My father, this wickedness is no good

please listen to my words.

 

Sloka:
After hearing the Lord’s words and after Sage Narada left, Sathi, who was keen to witness the magnificent sacrificial rites being conducted by her father, bowed to her husband and spoke thus.

 

Lord Siva must marry me

O Brahmin, please hear my wish

have mercy on me, bless me

 

Sloka:

Brought up by her parents who lavished love on her, the girl Sathi grew up and became proficient in the arts and famous. Since childhood Sathi wished to have Lord Siva as her husband and did penance with that aim in mind.
