Sati observed different types of decorated aerial vehicles flying through the sky. (3)
In them, beautiful women-folk of the gods were singing such melodious songs
with a sweet voice that if sages heard them they would be so enchanted that they
would be inspired to abandon their meditative trance to listen and enjoy them (i.e. the
meditating sages would be sufficiently inticed to stop their meditation and hear these
pleasant songs and see the sight of magnificently decorated aerial vehicles flying
through the sky in colourful formations). (4)

When Sati asked Lord Shiva about this wonderful sight and what it meant, he told her
everything (regarding Daksha’s fire sacrifice and the gods going to attend it).
When Sati heard of the fire sacrifice at her father’s place, she felt a bit excited. (5)
[Note—Amid the gloom that had surrounded her because of Shiva adopting a
detached attitude towards her, this news was a sort of diversion for her depressed
mind that would give her some moments of pleasure and a chance to reinvigorate
herself. So she asked Shiva to give her permission so that she can go and attend this
fire sacrifice—refer: Doha no. 61 and its preceding Chaupai line nos. 6-8 herein
below.]

She thought to herself—If Mahesh gives me permission then I can go and live there
(at my father’s place) for some time on this excuse (of having come to attend the fire
sacrifice)^1. (6)
[The reason why she wanted to go to her father’s place for some days, and
why she was reluctant to freely ask her husband to give her permission, is this—] Her
heart was full of sorrow and grief because her husband had abandoned her. But she
was very hesitant to approach him due to the guilt of her sins (as she feared he would
become more angry with her that instead of doing penance to atone for her sins she
wishes to enjoy the celebrations at her father’s place, and therefore perhaps he would
not allow her to come back to him when she returned from her father’s place at the
end of the fire sacrifice). (7)
