असंभाष्या पिताः सर्वा गता दक्षांतिकं सती । पित्रा पृष्टा तु मात्रापि भद्रं जातं त्वदागमे

Scene: सती मौनेन सभां लङ्घयित्वा दक्षस्य समीपं गच्छति; दक्षः प्रश्नं करोति; माता (प्रसू) ‘भद्रं जातम्’ इति वदति; सभायां औपचारिक-हर्षः किन्तु अन्तःतनावः।

None; it narrates Satī’s meeting with Dakṣa at the sacrifice.
None.
