When Mahâdeva saw that no amount of talking would make her stay, he appointed his chief ministers as her escort and allowed her to depart.
When Bhavâni came to her father’s house, from fear of Daksha no one greeted her; only her mother met her kindly and her sisters received her with a smile. Daksha uttered not a word of salutation and burned with rage to see her. When Sati went to look at the sacrifice, she could nowhere find anything for Sambhu: then Sankara’s words came back into her mind, and her heart so burned within her at the slight upon her lord, that the former pain she had felt was not to be compared to her present emotion. There are many grievous pains in the world, but nothing so bad as a family slight. The more she thought of it, the more furious she grew, though her mother tried hard to pacify her.
