तदा देवश्च देवी च दिव्यासनगतावुभौ ॥ दर्शनं ददतुस्तेषां देवादीनां द्विजोत्तमाः ॥ ६ ॥

O Brahmins, the lord and the goddess were seated on a divine scat as they granted interview to the gods and others.

english translation

तदानीमेव दक्षो ऽपि गतस्तत्र सहामरैः ॥ जामातरं हरं द्रष्टुं द्रष्टुं चात्मसुतां सतीम् ॥ ७ ॥

At the same time Dakṣa too had accompanied the gods in order to see Śiva his son-in-law and the goddess his own daughter.

english translation

तदात्मगौरवाद्देवो देव्या दक्षे समागते ॥ देवादिभ्यो विशेषेण न कदाचिदभूत्स्मृतिः ॥ ८ ॥

In view of their dignity, the lord and the Goddess did not give any special preferential treatment to Dakṣa.

english translation

तस्य तस्याः परं भावमज्ञातुश्चापि केवलम् ॥ पुत्रीत्येवं विमूढस्य तस्यां वैरमजायत ॥ ९ ॥

But deluded that he was, Dakṣa did not realise the greatness of the lord and the goddess. Thinking her to be his daughter he began to nurse a grudge and hatred against her.

english translation

ततस्तेनैव वैरेण विधिना च प्रचोदितः ॥ नाजुवाह भवं दक्षो दीक्षितस्तामपि द्विषन् ॥ १० ॥

Due to this enmity and further incited by Brahmā, Dakṣa after initiation did not invite them in the sacrifice.
