### SB 4.2.3

> एतदाख्याहि मे ब्रह्मन्जामातुः श्वशुरस्य च ।\
> विद्वेषस्तु यतः प्राणांस्तत्यजे दुस्त्यजान्सती ॥३॥

> etad ākhyāhi me brahman\
> jāmātuḥ śvaśurasya ca\
> vidveṣas tu yataḥ prāṇāṁs\
> tatyaje dustyajān satī

*etat*—thus; *ākhyāhi*—please tell; *me*—to me; *brahman*—O *brāhmaṇa*; *jāmātuḥ*—of the son-in-law (Lord Śiva); *śvaśurasya*—of the father-in-law (Dakṣa); *ca*—and; *vidveṣaḥ*—quarrel; *tu*—as to; *yataḥ*—from what cause; *prāṇān*—her life; *tatyaje*—gave up; *dustyajān*—which is impossible to give up; *satī*—Sati.

**Vidura therefore inquired: My dear Maitreya, would you kindly explain to me how such a son-in-law and such a father-in-law could quarrel so bitterly that the great goddess Satī could give up her life, with which it is not easy to part?**
