Baal Kaanda
17 - Disowning of Sati by Siva and Siva's trance
Chaupais
Description
The daughter of Dak¦a, Sats, thus felt very miserable. Her deep agony was terrible beyond words. When eighty-seven thousand years elapsed, the immortal Sambhu emerged from His trance. Siva started repeating the name of Rma; then Sats came to know that the Lord of the universe had come to the waking state. She went and bowed at the feet of Sambhu, Sarkara gave Her a seat opposite Himself. He began to narrate the delightful stories of Sri Hari. Meanwhile Dak¦a (Satss father) had come to be the lord of created beings. On careful consideration the Creator (Brahm) found Dak¦a qualified in everyway and appointed him as the supreme lord of created beings. When Dak¦a attained this high position, the pride of his heart knew no bounds. Never was a creature born in this world, whom power did not intoxicate. (1-4)
