TRANSLATION

My dear white-complexioned wife, it is clear that of the many
daughters of Daksa you are the pet, yet you will not be honored at his
house because of your being my wife. Rather, you will be sorry that you
are connected with me.

PURPORT

Lord Siva put forward the argument that even if Sati proposed to go
alone, without her husband, still she would not be received well because
she was his wife. There was every chance of a catastrophe, even if she
wanted to go alone. Therefore Lord Siva indirectly requested her not to
go to her father’s house.
