Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 68
देव्या गतं वै स्वपितुर्गृहं तदा विमृश्य सर्वं भगवान्महेशः । दाक्षायणी पित्रवमानिता सती न यास्यतीति स्वपुरं पुनर्जगौ

Quando a Deusa foi à casa de seu pai, o Bem-aventurado Maheśa refletiu sobre tudo. Concluindo que Satī, Dakṣāyaṇī, insultada por seu pai, não retornaria, voltou novamente à sua própria morada.
