136 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 4
TRANSLATION
Because of our family relationship, when Lord Siva addresses me as
Daksayani | at once become morose, and my jolliness and my smile at
once disappear. I feel very much sorry that my body, which is just like a
bag, has been produced by you, and | shall therefore give it up.
PURPORT
The word daksadyani means the daughter of King Daksa. Sometimes,
when there was relaxed conversation between husband and wife, Lord
Siva used to call Sati the daughter of King Dakga, and because this very
word reminded her about her family relationship with King Daksa, she at
once became ashamed because Daksa is an incarnation of all offenses.
Daksa is the embodiment of envy, for he unnecessarily blasphemed a great
personality, Lord Siva. Simply upon hearing the word daksdyani, she felt
afflicted because of reference to the context because her body was the
symbol of all the offensiveness with which Daksa was endowed. Since her
body was constantly a source of unhappiness, she decided to give it up.
