Verse 7

¹While the two of them held to their hatred in this way, a very long time passed over the son-in-law and over the father-in-law alike. ²When Daksa was consecrated by Brahma, highest-placed of all, to the overlordship of every lord of creatures, pride came upon him. ³Having sacrificed with the Vajapeya and overborne those most given to Brahman, he set about the highest of rites, the one called Brhaspatisava. ⁴At it were all the brahmin sages, the sages of the gods, the fathers and the gods, for whom the rites of blessing had been done, and their wives beside their husbands. ⁵Hearing it talked of overhead by those who travel the sky, Sati, Daksa's daughter, the goddess, learned of the great festival of her father's sacrifice;

⁶and she saw the wives of the foremost lesser gods going there from every quarter, borne in sky-chariots with their beloveds, gold at their throats, finely dressed; ⁷and seeing them close to her own dwelling, their eyes restless, their earrings burnished, out of eagerness she spoke to her husband, the god, the lord of beings.
