Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 16
गच्छ वा तिष्ठवा भद्रे कस्मात्त्वं हि समागता । अमंगलो हि भर्ता ते अशिवोसौ सुमध्यमे
gaccha vā tiṣṭhavā bhadre kasmāttvaṃ hi samāgatā | amaṃgalo hi bhartā te aśivosau sumadhyame

Dakṣa
Listener: null
Scene: Dakṣa points dismissively toward Satī, his face hard with contempt, while Satī stands dignified yet wounded; the yajña fire burns between them like a moral boundary.
