> bhava-stavāya kṛta-dhīr\
> nāśaknod anurāgataḥ\
> autkaṇṭhyād bāṣpa-kalayā\
> samparetāṁ sutāṁ smaran

*bhava-stavāya*—for praying to Lord Śiva; *kṛta-dhīḥ*—although decided; *na*—never; *aśaknot*—was able; *anurāgataḥ*—by feeling; *autkaṇṭhyāt*—because of eagerness; *bāṣpa-kalayā*—with tears in the eyes; *samparetām*—dead; *sutām*—daughter; *smaran*—remembering.

**King Dakṣa wanted to offer prayers to Lord Śiva, but as he remembered the ill-fated death of his daughter Satī, his eyes filled with tears, and in bereavement his voice choked up, and he could not say anything.**
