The first chapter of the 4th canto ended with Maitreya mentioning that Sati, the youngest daughter of Daksa, left her body at a younger age without leaving any descendants, due to the enviousness of her father towards her husband.

He is astonished both about Sati voluntarily destroying her body and about how it was possible that Daksa, an exalted personality, could have been envious of Lord Shiva, the greatest of the Vaishnavas. Certainly, being so gentle and peaceful, Lord Shiva would never treat Daksa, his father-in-law as an enemy. How then could Daksa be envious of him, to the point his daughter had decided to abandon her body?
