TRANSLATION
The reason is that Satis father, Daksa, used to rebuke Lord Siva in spite of Sivas faultlessness. Consequently, before attaining a mature age, Sati gave up her body by dint of yogic mystic power.
PURPORT
Lord Siva, being the head of all mystic yogis, never even constructed a home for his residence. Sati was the daughter of a great king, Daksa, and because his youngest daughter, Sati, selected as her husband Lord Siva, King Daksa was not very much satisfied with her. Therefore whenever she met her father, he unnecessarily criticized her husband, although Lord Siva was faultless. Because of this, before attaining a mature age Sati gave up the body given by her father, Daksa, and therefore she could not produce a child.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fourth Canto, First Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled Genealogical Table of the Daughters of Manu.
