Maitreya said: Having spoken thus much, Śaṅkara fell silent, thinking of the ruin of his wife's body either way; and she, longing to see her relatives yet made anxious by Bhava, was of two minds, going out and coming back in.

Then Satī, sighing, left him and went to her parents' house, her judgement clouded by her womanly nature, with a heart aching from grief and anger — (leaving) him who out of love had given her half of himself, him who is dear to the good.

The attendants of the Three-eyed one, in thousands, followed her, Satī, going alone with swift steps — with their retinue and Yakṣas, Maṇimān, Mada and the rest — with the lordly bull in front, quickly and without fear.

When she had come there, no one honoured her — she was slighted, out of fear of the performer of the sacrifice — except her sisters and her mother, who respectfully and with joy embraced her, their throats choked with tears of love.

The honour offered with respect by her mother and her mother's sisters, and the excellent seat, and the fitting conversation of a sisterly inquiry — Satī did not accept them, since she was not greeted in return by her father.

Seeing that sacrifice without a share for Rudra, and the contempt shown by her father toward the god, the all-pervading Lord, and being herself disregarded in the sacrificial assembly, the sovereign lady grew angry, as if she would burn the worlds with her wrath.

The goddess, having restrained by her own power the hosts of spirits who had risen up, reviled the hater of Śiva, who was proud of his toil on the path of smoke, in words broken with indignation, while the world listened.

The goddess said: He in the world for whom there is no one surpassingly dear nor undear, who is the very self of the embodied and their dearest, who is the Self of all and free from enmity — apart from you, who would oppose him?

For, O twice-born one, some do seize on the faults in the virtues of others — the good do not, nor one like you; the greatest of the great magnify even slight virtues; among these (virtues) you have found a fault.

This is no wonder, that among the unrighteous, who hold the corpse-like (body) to be the self, there is always envious reviling of the great; among those whose brilliance has been dispelled by the dust of the feet of the Great Person, that (reviling) is the very ornament (of the great).

That two-syllabled name which, uttered by men with the voice even once, though incidentally, swiftly destroys sin — him of purifying fame, whose command none may transgress, him, Śiva, you hate, O, being yourself the opposite of auspicious!

His lotus feet are attended by the bee-like minds of the great who crave the wine of the essence of Brahman, and he rains down blessings upon the world's suppliants — to him, the friend of all the universe, you show malice.

Or do Brahmā and the others, unlike you, not know him named Śiva to be inauspicious? — he who, with his matted locks flung loose, dwells in the cremation ground with the ghosts, wearing garlands, ashes and human skulls from it; while those (gods) bear on their heads what has been cast off from his feet.

When the Lord, the protector of dharma, is abused by unbridled men, one who is unable (to stop it) should stop his ears and go away from that place, (thereby escaping) hell; but if one is able, one should forcibly cut out the foul, wicked tongue, and then give up one's own life as well — that is dharma.

atas tavotpannam idaṃ kalevaraṃ na dhārayiṣye śiti-kaṇṭha-garhiṇaḥ jagdhasya mohād dhi viśuddhim andhaso jugupsitasyoddharaṇaṃ pracakṣate
Therefore I shall not keep this body, which arose from you, the reviler of the blue-throated one; for of food eaten in delusion they declare that the purification is its vomiting up, when it is loathsome.

na veda-vādān anuvartate matiḥ sva eva loke ramato mahā-muneḥ yathā gatir deva-manuṣyayoḥ pṛthak sva eva dharme na paraṃ kṣipet sthitaḥ
The mind of the great sage, who delights in his own self, does not follow the prescriptions of the Vedas; just as the courses of gods and of men are separate, so one established in one's own dharma should not censure another.

Both action that is engaged (pravṛtta) and action that is withdrawn (nivṛtta) are true, being distinguished in the Veda and resting on the two characteristics; these two are contradictory in one agent simultaneously, and likewise action does not reach (apply to) Brahman.

Father, let those paths not be mine which are followed by us (yours) — those which are praised in sacrificial halls, not by the smoke-paths, by mere life-bearers satisfied with that food; (rather may mine be) those whose marks are unmanifest, resorted to by the avadhūtas.

Enough of this body born from you, who have offended Hari — enough of this ill birth from (your) body! Shame has come to me from association with a base person; a curse upon that birth which brings blame upon the great.

Having mastered her posture, she made the prāṇa and apāna breaths equal, and raising the udāna from the navel-wheel, she slowly established it in the heart; then the blameless one led it, standing in the chest, up from the throat to the space between the brows by her intellect.

Thus, resolved to abandon her own body — which had again and again been reverently placed upon his lap by him who is greatest of the great — the high-minded one, out of anger at Dakṣa, held in her limbs the concentration on wind and fire.

Then, meditating on the nectar of the lotus feet of her own husband, the teacher of the world, and on nothing else, she saw nothing (else); the chaste one's body, its taint destroyed, at once blazed up with the fire born of her trance.
