श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — सतीखण्डअथाष्टविंशोऽध्यायः
Brahmā continues his tale to Nārada: as the gods and sages set off in festivity for Dakṣa's sacrifice, Satī, at play on Mount Gandhamādana, notices the moon passing with Rohiṇī and learns from him of the great sacrifice under way. Puzzled that her own father has sent her no word, she goes to Śiva to ask the reason. Śiva explains that Dakṣa has grown especially hostile toward him, and that only the foolish and unwise have gone to the sacrifice; he counsels that neither of them should go where they are not welcome, since an uninvited guest meets only dishonour, and a kinsman's harsh word wounds deeper than an enemy's arrow. Satī, roused to anger, presses Śiva all the more to let her go and learn her father's mind for herself, and Śiva relents, sending her off on the bull Nandī with full royal honour and sixty thousand rejoicing gaṇas in escort, amid great festivity and splendour. ब्रह्मा जी नारद को आगे की कथा सुनाते हैं: देवता और ऋषिगण जब उत्साहपूर्वक दक्ष के यज्ञ की ओर जा रहे थे, उसी समय गन्धमादन पर्वत पर क्रीड़ारत सती चन्द्रमा को रोहिणी के साथ जाते देखकर उनसे उस महायज्ञ का समाचार जानती हैं। अपने पिता की ओर से कोई सूचना न मिलने पर आश्चर्यचकित होकर वे इसका कारण पूछने शिवजी के पास जाती हैं। शिवजी बताते हैं कि दक्ष उनके विशेष द्रोही हो गये हैं, और यज्ञ में केवल मूढ़ तथा अज्ञानी लोग ही गये हैं; वे यह भी समझाते हैं कि जहाँ बुलावा न हो, वहाँ नहीं जाना चाहिये, क्योंकि बिन बुलाये अतिथि को अनादर ही मिलता है, और अपनों के कटु वचन शत्रु के बाण से भी अधिक पीड़ा देते हैं। सती क्रोधित होकर पिता के मनोभाव स्वयं जानने के लिये जाने का आग्रह करती हैं, और शिवजी अन्ततः अनुमति देकर उन्हें नन्दी वृषभ पर राजोचित सम्मान तथा साठ हजार हर्षित गणों की अगवानी के साथ बड़ी शोभा और उत्सव के बीच विदा करते हैं।

जो-जो प्रमुख देवता, ऋषि तथा अन्य लोग अभिमानी हैं, वे ही मूढ़ और ज्ञानशून्य लोग तुम्हारे पिता के यज्ञ में गये हुए हैं।
Whoever among the proud, headed by the gods and sages, and others — those foolish and ignorant ones alone have gone to your father's sacrifice.

anāhūtāśca ye devi gacchanti paramandiram | avamānaṃ prāpnuvanti maraṇādadhikaṃ tathā ||
हे देवि! जो लोग बिना बुलाये दूसरे के घर जाते हैं, वे वहाँ मृत्यु से भी बढ़कर अनादर ही पाते हैं।
O goddess, those who go uninvited to another's house meet with dishonour, one greater even than death.

ऐसी दशा में इन्द्र भी दूसरे के घर जाकर लघुता को ही प्राप्त होगा, फिर औरों की तो बात ही क्या! ऐसी यात्रा तो अनर्थ का कारण ही है।
Even Indra, going of that sort to another's house, becomes lessened by it; what then to speak of others? Such a visit is indeed a matter to be shunned.

मनुष्य अपने शत्रुओं के बाणों से घायल होकर उतना व्यथित नहीं होता, जितना अपने ही सम्बन्धियों के मर्मभेदी दुर्वचनों से मर्माहत होकर होता है।

हे प्रिये! सज्जनों में रहनेवाले विद्या आदि छहों गुण जब दुष्ट मनुष्यों में आ जाते हैं, तो उनके प्रति सज्जनों का आदर नष्ट हो जाता है, और वे अभिमानी होकर तेजस्वी पुरुषों की ओर देखना ही छोड़ देते हैं।"
