Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 68
देव्या गतं वै स्वपितुर्गृहं तदा विमृश्य सर्वं भगवान्महेशः । दाक्षायणी पित्रवमानिता सती न यास्यतीति स्वपुरं पुनर्जगौ
devyā gataṃ vai svapiturgṛhaṃ tadā vimṛśya sarvaṃ bhagavānmaheśaḥ | dākṣāyaṇī pitravamānitā satī na yāsyatīti svapuraṃ punarjagau
देवी पित्याच्या घरी गेल्यावर भगवान महेशांनी सर्व विचार केला. पित्याने अपमान केलेली दाक्षायणी सती आता परत येणार नाही असे ठरवून ते पुन्हा आपल्या धामास गेले।
