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

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.

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

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.

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.
