Doha 64
Satī’s self-immolation through the fire of Yoga out of indignation at the slight offered to Her Spouse by Her father: destruction of Dakṣa’s sacrifice · Descent of Goddess Pārvatī and Her penance
सुनहु सभासद सकल मुनिंदा। कही सुनी जिन्ह संकर निंदा॥ सो फलु तुरत लहब सब काहूँ। भली भाँति पछिताब पिताहूँ॥१॥
संत संभु श्रीपति अपबादा। सुनिअ जहाँ तहँ असि मरजादा॥ काटिअ तासु जीभ जो बसाई। श्रवन मूदि न त चलिअ पराई॥२॥
जगदातमा महेसु पुरारी। जगत जनक सब के हितकारी॥ पिता मंदमति निंदत तेही। दच्छ सुक्र संभव यह देही॥३॥
तजिहउँ तुरत देह तेहि हेतू। उर धरि चंद्रमौलि बृषकेतू॥ अस कहि जोग अगिनि तनु जारा। भयउ सकल मख हाहाकारा॥४॥
Meaning
“Hear ye elders of the assembly and all great sages! All of you, who have reviled Śaṅkara or heard Him reviled, must forthwith bear the consequence and My father too shall fully repent. (1) “Wherever you hear a saint, Śiva or Viṣṇu (the Lord of Lakṣmī) vilified, the rule is that if it lies within your power you should tear out the tongue of the reviler; otherwise you should run away closing your ears. (2) “The Slayer of Tripura, the great Lord Maheśwara, is the universal Spirit; He is the father of the universe and is beneficent to all. It is He that my stupid father vilifies; and this body of Mine has evolved from the loins of Dakṣa. (3) “Therefore, installing in My heart Lord Śiva, who bears the crescent moon on His forehead and a bull as His emblem, I shall immediately give up this body.” As She spoke thus, She burnt Her body in the fire of Yoga.* There was great uproar and turmoil in the whole assembly. (4) * Fire produced by Yogīs through the friction of the vital airs within the body.
सती मरनु सुनि संभु गन लगे करन मख खीस। जग्य बिधंस बिलोकि भृगु रच्छा कीन्हि मुनीस॥६४॥
Meaning
Hearing of Satī’s death, the attendants of Śiva began to destroy the sacrifice (Yajña). Seeing the sacrifice (Yajña) being destroyed, the great sage Bhṛgu protected it. (64)
