From the moment my body, born of Dakṣa, was renounced, O gods, Having seen the disrespect shown by my father at the sacrifice, I went to my Lord (Śiva) at that ritual.

Since that time, my Lord Rudra, known as Kālāgni (the fire of time), Became a digambara (clothed in directions — naked) and remained constantly absorbed in thoughts of me.

Seeing my anger at the sacrifice, Sati (my former form) went there to my father, And, out of love and sense of righteousness (considering what was just), she renounced her body.

योग्यभूत्सदनं त्यक्त्वा कृत्वा वेषमलौकिकम् ॥ न सेहे विरहं सत्या मद्रूपाया महेश्वरः ॥३४॥

Having left the abode that had become unworthy and adopting a supernatural appearance, Maheshvara (Śiva) could not bear the separation from Sati — who was my earlier form.
