अहमाराधितस्सत्याद्दाक्षायण्याथ भक्तितः ॥ तस्यै वरो मया दत्तो नंदाव्रतप्रभावतः ॥३१॥

I have been propitiated by Satī, the daughter of Dakṣa with devotion. Thanks to the sacred Nandā rites, I have given her a boon.

भर्ता भवेति च तया मत्तो ब्रह्मन् वरो वृतः ॥ मम भार्या भवेत्युक्तं मया तुष्टेन सर्वथा ॥३२॥

O Brahmā, the boon “O be my husband” was sought of me by her. Glad at heart in every respect I had told her “Be my wife.”

Then Satī, the daughter of Dakṣa told me like this—“O lord of the universe, please accept me in the presence of my father.”

O Brahmā, that too I granted her as I was satisfied with her devotion, She returned to her mother’s house, O Brahmā and I returned here.

At my bidding you must approach Dakṣa. Speak to him so that he shall give his daughter in marriage to me at once.
