[But, unable to resist herself, she approached Shiva.] Sati spoke to Shiva hesitantly
because she was afraid of him. When she finally spoke it was with a very pleasant and
polite tone as if her words were soaked in affection. (8)
[Note—Sati knew of her mistakes, and was scared that her asking Shiva to give her
permission to go to her father’s place to attend celebrations instead of doing
something to atone for her sins would not go down well with her husband. He could
have sternly admonished her that at a time when she was expected to do some sort
repentance and show remorse for her misdeeds, she wants to enjoy celebrations at her
father’s place. Wasn’t she concerned about who would serve her husband during her
absence? Even after suffering so much, hasn’t she learnt any lesson in life?
So, Sati was unusually polite when she finally gathered courage to ask Shiva to
give her permission and let her go to her father’s place, in order to diffuse the tension
as best as she could and behave normally as if nothing has happened.]

Sati requested Lord Shiva—‘There is a celebration at my father’s place. So, oh
compassionate Lord, if I am given your kind permission then I respectfully say that I
could go and see it.’ (Doha no. 61)

Lord Shiva replied to Sati, ‘What you said is primarily alright, and on the face of it, it
is okay to my mind as well.
But there is a problem here, and it is this: it is not proper to do so (i.e. to go to
your father’s place to attend the fire sacrifice ceremony) because he (your father,
Daksha) has not sent us an invitation^1. (1)
Daksha has invited all his other daughters, but he has not invited you and has
ignored you because of his animosity and grudge with me. (2)
