गणा ऊचुः ॥ देवदेव महादेव पाहि नश्शरणागतान्॥ संशृण्वादरतो नाथ सती वार्तां च विस्तरात् ॥ ६ ॥
Gaṇas said: O lord of Devas, save us who have sought refuge in you. Please listen with condescension to the detailed description of the events connected with Satī.

गर्वितेन महेशानदक्षेन सुदुरात्मना ॥ अवमानः कृतस्सत्याऽनादरो निर्जरैस्तथा ॥ ७ ॥
O Lord, great disrespect was shown to Satī by the haughty and wicked Dakṣa. The devas too did not show due respect to her.

He did not allot your share but gave it to all the devas. The extremely haughty Dakṣa wickedly and loudly spoke harsh words.

ततो दृष्ट्वा न ते भागं यज्ञेऽकुप्यत्सती प्रभो ॥ विनिंद्य बहुशस्तातमधाक्षीत्स्वतनुं तदा ॥९॥
O lord, not seeing your share in the sacrifice Satī became angry. After censuring her father many times she burnt her body (in the yogic fire).

गणास्त्वयुतसंख्याका मृतास्तत्र विलज्जया ॥ स्वांगान्याछिद्य शस्त्रैश्च क्रुध्याम ह्यपरे वयम् ॥ 2-2-32-१० ॥
Gaṇas exceeding ten-thousand put an end to their lives out of shame by cutting off their limbs with weapons. We, the rest, became infuriated.
