सुनहु सभासद सकल मुनिन्दा । कही सुनी जिन्ह सङ्कर निन्दा ॥
सो फल तुरत लहब सब काहूँ । भली भाँति पछिताब पिताहूँ ॥
sunahu sabhāsada sakala munindā | kahī sunī jinha saṅkara nindā ||
so phala turata lahaba saba kāhūm̐ | bhalī bhām̐ti pachitāba pitāhūm̐ ||

What happens in this chapter
Sati gives up her body in yogic fire
Sati tells the assembly: all who spoke or heard the slander of Shankara will reap its fruit at once, and my father will repent bitterly. Where saints, Shambhu or the Lord of Lakshmi are reviled, she says, the rule is to pull out the slanderer's tongue if one can, or else to stop one's ears and leave. Mahesha is the Self of the world, its father and well-wisher, and her dull-witted father reviles him. This body is born of Daksha's seed, so she will cast it off at once. Holding the moon-crested, bull-bannered Lord in her heart, she burns her body in the fire of yoga. A cry rises through the yajna. Shiva's ganas begin to wreck it, and Bhrigu protects the sacrifice.
सन्त-सम्भु-श्रीपति अपबादा । सुनिय जहाँ तहँ असि मरजादा ॥
काटिअ तासु जीभ जो बसाई । स्रवन मूँदि न त चलिय पराई ॥
santa-sambhu-śrīpati apabādā | suniya jahām̐ taham̐ asi marajādā ||
kāṭia tāsu jībha jo basāī | sravana mūm̐di na ta caliya parāī ||
जगदातमा महेस पुरारी । जगत-जनक सब के हितकारी ॥
पिता-मन्दमति निन्दत तेही । दच्छ-सुक्र-सम्भव यह देही ॥
jagadātamā mahesa purārī | jagata-janaka saba ke hitakārī ||
pitā-mandamati nindata tehī | daccha-sukra-sambhava yaha dehī ||
तजिहउँ तुरत देह तेहि हेतू । उर धरि चन्द्रमौलि बृषकेतू ॥
अस कहि जोग-अगिनि तनु जारा । भयउ सकल मख हाहाकारा ॥
tajihaum̐ turata deha tehi hetū | ura dhari candramauli bṛṣaketū ||
asa kahi joga-agini tanu jārā | bhayau sakala makha hāhākārā ||
सती मरन सुनि सम्भु गन, लगे करन मख खीस ।
जग्य-बिधंस बिलोकि भृगु, रच्छा कीन्हि मुनीस ॥
satī marana suni sambhu gana, lage karana makha khīsa |
jagya-bidhaṃsa biloki bhṛgu, racchā kīnhi munīsa ||
