कहेहु नीक मोरेहुँ मन भावा । यह अनुचित नहिँ नेवत पठावा ॥
दच्छ सकल निज सुता बोलाई । हमरें बयर तुम्हउ बिसराई ॥
kahehu nīka morehum̐ mana bhāvā | yaha anucita nahim̐ nevata paṭhāvā ||
daccha sakala nija sutā bolāī | hamareṃ bayara tumhau bisarāī ||

What happens in this chapter
Shiva warns Sati not to go uninvited
Shiva answers gently that her wish is good, but there is one wrong in it: no invitation has come. Daksha has called all his other daughters and left her out because of his quarrel with Shiva. In Brahma's assembly he took offence at Shiva, and he insults him to this day. If Bhavani goes unasked, neither courtesy nor affection nor honour will remain. One may go without being called to a friend, a master, a father or a guru, Shiva grants; but where someone bears enmity, going brings no good. He explains in many ways, yet what was destined to happen keeps understanding from her heart. Seeing every effort fail and Daksha's daughter unwilling to stay, Tripurari sends his chief ganas with her and lets her go.
ब्रह्म-सभा हम सन दुख माना । तेहि तेँ अजहुँ करहिं अपमाना ॥
जौँ बिनु बोलें जाहु भवानी । रहइ न सील सनेह न कानी ॥
brahma-sabhā hama sana dukha mānā | tehi tem̐ ajahum̐ karahiṃ apamānā ||
jaum̐ binu boleṃ jāhu bhavānī | rahai na sīla saneha na kānī ||
जदपि मित्र-प्रभु-पितु-गुरु गेहा । जाइअ बिनु बोलेहुँ न सँदेहा ॥
तदपि बिरोध मान जहँ कोई । तहाँ गये कल्यान न होई ॥
jadapi mitra-prabhu-pitu-guru gehā | jāia binu bolehum̐ na sam̐dehā ||
tadapi birodha māna jaham̐ koī | tahām̐ gaye kalyāna na hoī ||
भाँति अनेक सम्भु समुझावा । भावी बस न ज्ञान उर आवा ॥
कह प्रभु जाहु जो बिनहिँ बोलाये । नहिँ भलि बात हमारे भाये ॥
bhām̐ti aneka sambhu samujhāvā | bhāvī basa na jñāna ura āvā ||
kaha prabhu jāhu jo binahim̐ bolāye | nahim̐ bhali bāta hamāre bhāye ||
करि देखा हर जतन बहु, रहइ न दच्छकुमारि ।
दिये मुख्य गन सङ्ग तब, बिदा कीन्ह त्रिपुरारि ॥
kari dekhā hara jatana bahu, rahai na dacchakumāri |
diye mukhya gana saṅga taba, bidā kīnha tripurāri ||
