When Sambhu's attendants heard of Sati's death, they began to destroy all the sacrificial offerings; but the great saint Bhrigu, seeing the destruction, came and saved them.
When Sambhu got the news he sent Birbhadra in his wrath, who went and scattered the sacrifice and requited all the gods as they deserved. Daksha's act is famous throughout the world as an example of hostility to Sambhu; and as the story is so well known, I have told it in brief. Sati at her death asked this boon of Hari, that in every successive birth she might show her love to Siva. On this account she was born in the form of Parvati, as the daughter of King Himalaya. From the time that she entered the house of the monarch of mountains, it was pervaded by fortune and prosperity, and hermits made their homes all about it, in fit places assigned them by the king.
