Synopsis

Rishi Dadhichi cursed Daksh, declaring he would be unable to complete the ritual because Prajapati had shown disrespect to Lord Shiva. Sati entreated the Rishi not to abandon the sacred undertaking. Daksh, consumed by anger, directed his ire at Sati, forbidding her to address him as ‘father’ again. Sati then understood the error of her words.
