पिता-भवन जब गई भवानी । दच्छ-त्रास काहु न सनमानी ॥
सादर भलेहिं मिली एक माता । भगिनीं मिलीँ बहुत मुसुकाता ॥
pitā-bhavana jaba gaī bhavānī | daccha-trāsa kāhu na sanamānī ||
sādara bhalehiṃ milī eka mātā | bhaginīṃ milīm̐ bahuta musukātā ||

What happens in this chapter
Sati finds no share for Shiva
When Bhavani reaches her father's house, nobody welcomes her for fear of Daksha. Only her mother meets her with love; her sisters greet her with mocking smiles. Daksha does not even ask after her welfare, and the sight of Sati sets his whole body burning. Then Sati looks over the yajna and finds no portion set aside for Shambhu anywhere. Now Shiva's words come back to her. Understanding the insult to her Lord, her heart blazes; even the earlier grief of being set aside had not hurt like this. Of all hard sorrows, the slight to one's own kin is hardest. Her mother tries in many ways to calm her, but the insult to Shiva is past bearing, and silencing the whole gathering, Sati speaks in anger.
दच्छ न कछु पूछी कुसलाता । सतिहि बिलोकि जरे सब गाता ॥
सतीं जाइ देखेउ तब जागा । कतहुँ न दीख सम्भु कर भागा ॥
daccha na kachu pūchī kusalātā | satihi biloki jare saba gātā ||
satīṃ jāi dekheu taba jāgā | katahum̐ na dīkha sambhu kara bhāgā ||
तब चित चढ़ेउ जो सङ्कर कहेऊ । प्रभु-अपमान समुझि उर दहेऊ ॥
पाछिल दुख न हृदयँ अस ब्यापा । जस यह भयउ महा परितापा ॥
taba cita car̤heu jo saṅkara kaheū | prabhu-apamāna samujhi ura daheū ||
pāchila dukha na hṛdayam̐ asa byāpā | jasa yaha bhayau mahā paritāpā ||
जद्यपि जग दारुन दुख नाना । सब तेँ कठिन जाति-अपमाना ॥
समुझि सो सतिहि भयउ अति क्रोधा । बहु बिधि जननीं कीन्ह प्रबोधा ॥
jadyapi jaga dāruna dukha nānā | saba tem̐ kaṭhina jāti-apamānā ||
samujhi so satihi bhayau ati krodhā | bahu bidhi jananīṃ kīnha prabodhā ||
सिव अपमान न जाइ सहि, हृदयँ न होइ प्रबोध ।
सकल सभहि हठि हटकि तब, बोलीं बचन सक्रोध ॥
siva apamāna na jāi sahi, hṛdayam̐ na hoi prabodha |
sakala sabhahi haṭhi haṭaki taba, bolīṃ bacana sakrodha ||
