3. Goddess Satī, having approached her father, asking in the presence of Bhṛgu and others the reason for not inviting Śaṃkara; Dakṣa reviling Śiva; Satī, unable to endure the reviling of Śiva and her own insult, entering into the sacrificial fire; the destruction of the twenty thousand attendants who followed her, cutting off their own limbs with blows of weapons; the guardians of the world and the seers becoming stunned with fear; Śaṃkara, hearing that account from the mouth of Nārada, striking his matted hair upon a mountain peak in extreme wrath; then the appearance of Vīrabhadra, Kālī, and tens of millions of spirits; from the sigh of Rudra, the emergence of a hundred fevers and thirteen types of delirium; then, by the command of Śaṃkara, the arrival of Vīrabhadra and others at the enclosure of Dakṣa's sacrifice; those standing in the sacrificial enclosure fleeing out of fear upon seeing that army of Rudra approaching, and Śakra and others arming themselves for battle; Dakṣa praying to all the gods; Viṣṇu rebuking Dakṣa and describing the greatness of Śiva as the giver of the fruits of actions.
