Brahmā said, “O sage, once I along with you saw Satī standing near Her father. She is, as it were, the essence of the three worlds. When She saw both of us honoured and bowed to by Her father, Satī, following the conventions of the world, saluted us with joy and reverence. At the end of obeisance, O Nārada, you and I sat in the fine seat provided by Dakṣa. When She humbly bowed again, I spoke to Her: ‘O Satī, secure as Your husband, the Lord of the universe, the omniscient Śiva who desires only You, and whom You too desire. O auspicious lady, you shall secure as your husband, the person who has not taken, does not take, and will not be taking another wife. He will be unlike others.’
“O Nārada, after saying this to Satī we stayed in Dakṣa’s abode for a long time. We were bidden farewell by him and we went to our respective places. On hearing that, Dakṣa became delighted and free from all worries. Thinking that She was a great Goddess, he took Her with him.
