पुरा किल सती नाम्ना दक्षस्य दुहिता ऽभवम् ॥ जगतां पतिमेवं त्वां पतिं प्राप्तवती तथा ॥ ५६ ॥

In the past, I was the daughter of King Dakṣa, whose name was Satī. Thus she found you the husband of the worlds.

english translation

एवमद्यापि तपसा तोषयित्वा द्विजं विधिम् ॥ गौरी भवितुमिच्छामि को दोषः कथ्यतामिह ॥ ५७ ॥

So now also by propitiating him by penance I wish to become Gaurī. What is the harm therein?

एवमुक्तो महादेव्या वामदेवः स्मयन्निव ॥ न तां निर्बंधयामास देवकार्यचिकीर्षया ॥ ५८ ॥

Thus replied to by the goddess, Śiva did not insist on his point as he desired to carry out the task of the gods.
