Now, the Lord explains why He did not show respect to Daksha in the Sathram, “it is customary to honour  a noble man by getting up on his arrival and welcoming him with respectful words.  But as Daksha was too proud with his body consciousness, I did not do that, however,  I honoured him mentally, remembering the Lord in him.

So, I advise you  my dear wife, do not go as it will destroy you. You were always his beloved daughter, so you can not bear his rudeness now”.

Concluding  thus, the Lord sat silently, knowing His most beloved wife’s destiny.

Note – this session gives a remarkable insight into how vulnerable human minds are and how pride damages relations. Did Sathi obey her husband’s wise words or yield to her desire? We will see tomorrow.

The third chapter of Fourth canto ends here.
