“There is great rejoicing at my father’s house; with my gracious lord’s permission I will duteously go and see it.”
Said he—“It would please me well; but there is a difficulty, as you have not been invited. Daksha has summoned all his other daughters, but has left you out on account of his quarrel with me, for he took offence at my behaviour in Brahma’s court, and that is the reason he slights me to-day. If you go without being asked, you will lose temper, love, and honour. One may go no doubt without an invitation to the house of a friend, or master, or father, or confessor, but no good can result from going where an enemy is present.” Thus Sambhu warned her over and over again; but fate was too strong, she would not be convinced. Said the lord: “To go unasked is not right, as I take it.”
