Brahmā said: O sage, once I saw Satī standing near her father along with you. She is, as it were, the essence of the three worlds.

पित्रा नमस्कृतं वीक्ष्य सत्कृतं त्वां च मां सती ॥ प्रणनाम मुदा भक्त्या लोकलीलानुसारिणी ॥ २ ॥
When she saw both of us honoured and bowed to by her father, Satī following the conventions of the world, saluted us with joy and reverence.

प्रणामांते सतीं वीक्ष्य दक्षदत्तशुभासने ॥ स्थितोहं नारद त्वं च विनतामहमागदम् ॥ ३ ॥
At the end of obeisance, O Nārada, you and I sat in the fine seat provided by Dakṣa. When she humbly bowed again, I spoke to her.

त्वामेव यः कामयते यन्तु कामयसे सति ॥ तमाप्नुहि पतिं देवं सर्वज्ञं जगदीश्वरम् ॥४॥
O Satī, secure, as your husband, the lord of the universe, (the omniscient Śiva) who desires only you and whom you too desire.
