# Bal Kand · Doha 61

**चौ०** 
> किंनर नाग सिद्ध गंधर्बा। बधुन्ह समेत चले सुर सर्बा॥  
> बिष्नु बिरंचि महेसु बिहाई। चले सकल सुर जान बनाई॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सतीं बिलोके ब्योम बिमाना। जात चले सुंदर बिधि नाना॥  
> सुर सुंदरी करहिं कल गाना। सुनत श्रवन छूटहिं मुनि ध्याना॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> पूछेउ तब सिवँ कहेउ बखानी। पिता जग्य सुनि कछु हरषानी॥  
> जौं महेसु मोहि आयसु देहीं। कछु दिन जाइ रहौं मिस एहीं॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> पति परित्याग हृदयँ दुखु भारी। कहइ न निज अपराध बिचारी॥  
> बोली सती मनोहर बानी। भय संकोच प्रेम रस सानी॥४॥

Meaning: Kinnaras (a species of demigods), Nāgas, Siddhas (a class of celestial beings) and Gandharvas (celestial songsters) and the whole host of gods proceeded (to the sacrifice) alongwith their wives. All the gods with the exception of Viṣṇu, Brahmā (the Creator) and the great Lord Śiva, set out in their aerial cars. (1)

Satī beheld beautiful aerial cars of various patterns coursing across the sky. Celestial damsels were singing melodious strains, which intruded upon the ears of ascetics and broke their meditation. (2)

When Satī inquired about the joyous commotion in the sky, Śiva explained the whole thing. She was somewhat delighted to hear of the sacrifice commenced by Her father and thought of making it an excuse for staying a few days at Her father’s house in case the great Lord Śiva granted Her leave. (3)

Repudiation by Her lord tormented Her heart not a little; but being conscious of Her own guilt She could not utter a word. At last Satī spoke in a charming voice tinged with awe, bashfulness and love, (4)

**दो०** 
> पिता भवन उत्सव परम जौं प्रभु आयसु होइ।  
> तौ मैं जाउँ कृपायतन सादर देखन सोइ॥६१॥

Meaning: “There is a great function at my father’s house, O Lord. If You grant me leave, I would fain go and see it, O repository of compassion.” (61)
