दीनेनाप्यपमानेन निंदिता नमि विक्रियाम् । वरमस्मि विनम्रोऽपि न त्वं देवि गुणान्विता
dīnenāpyapamānena niṃditā nami vikriyām | varamasmi vinamro'pi na tvaṃ devi guṇānvitā
Though demeaned—even by a lowly insult—I do not change my stance. Better that I remain humble; but you, O Goddess, are not acting in keeping with virtue.
Śiva (Śaṅkara)
Scene: Śiva stands composed despite insult, posture unshaken; he delivers a firm moral rebuke to Satī, who is visibly affronted.
Steadfast humility is praised, while anger and harshness are shown as lapses from guṇa and dharmic conduct.
