Sanskrit Original
पिता भवन जब गई भवानी। दच्छ त्रास काहुँ न सनमानी।। सादर भलेहिं मिली एक माता। भगिनीं मिलीं बहुत मुसुकाता।। दच्छ न कछु पूछी कुसलाता। सतिहि बिलोकि जरे सब गाता।। सतीं जाइ देखेउ तब जागा। कतहुँ न दीख संभु कर भागा।। तब चित चढ़ेउ जो संकर कहेऊ। प्रभु अपमानु समुझि उर दहेऊ।। पाछिल दुखु न हृदयँ अस ब्यापा। जस यह भयउ महा परितापा।। जद्यपि जग दारुन दुख नाना। सब तें कठिन जाति अवमाना।। समुझि सो सतिहि भयउ अति क्रोधा। बहु बिधि जननीं कीन्ह प्रबोधा।।
pitā bhavana jaba gaī bhavānī. daccha trāsa kāhu na sanamānī.. sādara bhalēhiṃ milī ēka mātā. bhaginīṃ milīṃ bahuta musukātā.. daccha na kachu pūchī kusalātā. satihi bilōki jarē saba gātā.. satīṃ jāi dēkhēu taba jāgā. katahu na dīkha saṃbhu kara bhāgā.. taba cita caḍhaēu jō saṃkara kahēū. prabhu apamānu samujhi ura dahēū.. pāchila dukhu na hṛdayaom asa byāpā. jasa yaha bhayau mahā paritāpā.. jadyapi jaga dāruna dukha nānā. saba tēṃ kaṭhina jāti avamānā.. samujhi sō satihi bhayau ati krōdhā. bahu bidhi jananīṃ kīnha prabōdhā..
When Bhavns (etymologically, the Consort of Bhava, an epithet of Siva) reached Her fathers house, no one greeted Her for fear of incurring Daksas displeasure. Her mother was the solitary figure who met Her kindly. Her sisters received Her with profuse smiles. Daksa would not even inquire about Her health; he burnt all over with rage at the very sight of Sats. Sats 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 Sarkaras warning; Her heart burnt within Her at the thought of the insult offered to Her lord.The former grief (that of repudiation by Her lord) did not torment Her heart so much as the great agony She now felt (as a result of the insult offered to Her husband). Although there are terrible agonies of various kinds in this world, the insult offered to ones own people is the most painful of them all. The thought of the same made Sats furious. Her mother tried to pacify Her in many ways. (1-4)
