दच्छ-सुतन्ह उपदेसेन्हि जाई । तिन्ह फिरि भवन न देखा आई ॥
चित्रकेतु कर घर उन घाला । कनककसिपु कर पुनि अस हाला ॥
daccha-sutanha upadesenhi jāī | tinha phiri bhavana na dekhā āī ||
citraketu kara ghara una ghālā | kanakakasipu kara puni asa hālā ||

What happens in this chapter
The rishis mock Narada and Shiva
Testing her, the rishis run down Narada. He taught Daksha's sons, and they never came home again. He ruined Chitraketu's house, and did the same to Hiranyakashipu. Men and women who follow Narada's advice surely leave home and turn beggars. Trusting him, you want a husband who is detached by nature: without qualities, shameless, ill-dressed, bearing skulls, homeless, naked, wrapped in snakes. What happiness would such a groom bring? You have been led astray by a cheat. On Narada's word Shiva married Sati, then neglected her and caused her death. Now he sleeps at ease, lives on alms, and has no worry; can a woman ever stay in the house of one who is alone by nature?
नारद सिख जे सुनहिँ नर नारी । अवसि होहिँ तजि भवन भिखारी ॥
मन कपटी तन-सज्जन चीन्हा । आपु सरिस सबही चह कीन्हा ॥
nārada sikha je sunahim̐ nara nārī | avasi hohim̐ taji bhavana bhikhārī ||
mana kapaṭī tana-sajjana cīnhā | āpu sarisa sabahī caha kīnhā ||
तेहि कें बचन मानि बिस्वासा । तुम्ह चाहहु पति सहज उदासा ॥
निर्गुन निलज कुबेष कपाली । अकुल अगेह दिगम्बर ब्याली ॥
tehi keṃ bacana māni bisvāsā | tumha cāhahu pati sahaja udāsā ||
nirguna nilaja kubeṣa kapālī | akula ageha digambara byālī ||
कहहु कवन सुख अस बर पाये । भल भूलिहु ठग के बौराये ॥
पञ्च कहें सिवँ सती बिबाही । पुनि अवडेरि मराएन्हि ताही ॥
kahahu kavana sukha asa bara pāye | bhala bhūlihu ṭhaga ke baurāye ||
pañca kaheṃ sivam̐ satī bibāhī | puni avaḍeri marāenhi tāhī ||
अब सुख सोवत सोच नहिँ, भीख माँगि भव खाहिँ ।
सहज-एकाकिन्ह के भवन, कबहुँ कि नारि खटाहिं ॥
aba sukha sovata soca nahim̐, bhīkha mām̐gi bhava khāhim̐ |
sahaja-ekākinha ke bhavana, kabahum̐ ki nāri khaṭāhiṃ ||
