धावमानो विप्रयोगो मामेव च सतीं प्रति ॥ अभिहंति सुरज्येष्ठ त्यक्त्वान्यां प्राणधारिणीम् ॥ ६ ॥

This anxiety of separation, O eldest of devas, running between Satī and me attacks only me, leaving the other, the woman, who very well sustains her life.

O Brahmā, respect the name Satī. Let me do what shall be done. She is not different from me. She has to be attained by me. O Brahmā, act accordingly.

Brahmā said: O sage Nārada, on hearing the words of Śiva best speaking of His strict adherence to the conventions of the world I told Śiva, consoling Him.
