PURPORT

Prasuti, being a softhearted woman, could immediately understand that the imminent danger approaching was due to the impious activity of hardhearted Prajapati Daksa. He was so cruel that he would not save her youngest daughter, Sati, from the action of committing suicide in the presence of her sisters. Sati's mother could understand how much Sati had been pained by the insult of her father. She had been present along with the other daughters, and Daksa had purposely received all of them but her because she happened to be the wife of Lord Siva. This consideration convinced the wife of Daksa of the danger which was now ahead, and thus she knew that Daksa must be prepared to die for his heinous act.
