Chapter 20: chapter 20

"Pithasree?", Devi Sati trembled,"I came to know through gods that you are organizing a mahayagna for the well-being and prosperity of our Kashi kingdom. You forgot giving invitation to me and Mahadev. I wished to participate in my father's yagna and rushed to our palace. Moreover, as I didn't get chance to meet you and maa after I had gone to Kailash, I couldn't control my wish to see you and our family.""You denied my words and went away Kailash marrying that aghori. Why did you come here then now? My daughter Dakshayani had died that day itself in my mind", Daksha frowned at Sati. Daksha's words appalled Devi Sati."Pithasree", Devi Sati cried,"I never denied your wish pithasree! I love you more than anyone else. I married him after you accepted him hainna?""Noone has invited you, why did you come here then? Don't you have shame to come to an uninvited ceremony and disturb? Get lost from here. Return to your Kailash. You are no more a member of this family", Daksh scowled which deeply hur Devi Sati. She didn't expect that she had to listen such horrifying and insulting words from her father. Even her mother too sat silent, she seemed as if, she too didn't like her daughter coming. Sati Devi couldn't bear the insult and felt in mind,"Lord Shiv presumed what would happen here that's why he tried to stop me. I'm a fool. I couldn't understand him and mistook him. Pithasree! You never forget your hatred towards Lord Shiv. You organised this yagna only inorder to insult me and my husband. Even you hate your own daughter whom you gave birth", she wailed heavily inside. "My father never accepts me as his daughter again, his love has gone. He's just filled with enragement and hatred towards me", Sati Devi turned back in disappointment to leave. Nandi couldn't see her mother wailing, he was with extreme outrage on Daksh but Devi Sati consoled him.Daksh didn't stop scolding her and Shiv yet,"Shiv is a beggar. Get lost and die with that aghora. He has no home even", Daksh continued abusing Lord Shiv which infuriated Sati Devi. She couldn't hear those horrible words against her husband. She was fed up with her father's hatred towards her husband. Lord Vishnu too was enraged but he promised Daksh that he'd support only him so stood silent. Sati frowned at Daksh and laid her fierce adiparashakti form which fretted everyone present in the yagn especially Daksh."Prajapati Daksh! Because of your ego and foolishness, you are unable to see what you are doing! Lord Shiv is not a beggar. He represents purush (human beings). He does bhikshatana, begs food to signify that purush always depends on prakruti(me). He does this to glorify me. One more significance is, by begging, he removes all sins of the people who are ready to donate the alms. He provides spiritual enlightenment to them and helps them to reach ultimate destination. He smears ash on his body. This leela signifies that all humans should leave their body one day, they have to reach smashan(cemetery) one day fiy, but the soul is permanent. He's preaching people to leave lust and attachment on physical materials and to try for spiritual enlightenment.Daksh Prajapati! You forget everything in ego. Did you forget that you did severe penance for me, Jaganmata and wished me to be your daughter? Now you are insulting Jaganmata for whom you craved gravely. I and Lord Shiv are not just your daughter and son-in-laws but the supreme deities of the world. I and my husband always honoured you. I loved you so much, I came here for your affection but you humiliated me infront of everyone. I came here to resolve disputes and finish your enragement towards Shiv even though Shiv disagreed. Since my childhood, you restricted me not to worship him because you don't like his thathv. Actually you can't understand his glory and significance. But how one can separate Shiv-Sati? Even though after our marriage, you didn't change, you didn't realize his glory but always insulted him, disagreed him as lord. Your hatred towards him killed your endearment towards your own daughter and made you ruthless. I can't bear insults of my husband. I can't see disputes between my father and my prabhu. I have been struggling still now between you both. I struggled to unite you both, but it couldn't happen. I failed. I'll better leave my body. I, Devi Sati, is inviting yogagni inside my body to burn me right now" Devi Sati immediately jumped into yogagni and got burnt into ashes." Ma Sati",howled Shivgan and started ruining Dakshyagn and his palace in anger. Daksh couldn't stop them."Sati", screamed Mahadev watching this from Kailash. He started his pralay tandav(tandav of destruction). Entire universe got trembled at Mahadev's anger. He howled and his anger gave birth to one of his fierce forms named "Veerabhadra".TO BE CONTINUED...
