PURPORT

Sati did not accept the greetings offered by her sisters and mother because she was not at all satisfied by her father's silence. Sati was the youngest child of Daksa, and she knew that she was his pet. But now, because of her association with Lord Siva, Daksa forgot all his affection for his daughter, which very much aggrieved her. The material bodily conception is so polluted that even upon slight provocation all our relationships of love and affection are nullified. Bodily relationships are so transient that even though one is affectionate towards someone in a bodily relationship, a slight provocation terminates this intimacy.
