पाणिं विप्राग्निमुखतः सावित्र्या इव साधुवत् ॥११॥
eá¹£a me Å›iá¹£yatÄá¹ prÄpto
yan me duhitur agrahīt
pÄṇiá¹ viprÄgni-mukhataḥ
sÄvitryÄ iva sÄdhuvat
eá¹£aḥ - he (Åšiva); me - my; Å›iá¹£yatÄm - subordinate position; prÄptaḥ - accepted; yat - because; me duhituḥ - of my daughter; agrahÄ«t - he took; pÄṇim - the hand; vipra-agni - of brÄhmaṇas and fire; mukhataḥ - in the presence; sÄvitryÄḥ - GÄyatrÄ«; iva - like; sÄdhuvat - like an honest person.
He has already accepted himself as my subordinate by marrying my daughter in the presence of fire and brÄhmaṇas. He has married my daughter, who is equal to GÄyatrÄ«, and has pretended to be just like an honest person.
Dakṣa’s statement that Lord Śiva pretended to be an honest person means that Śiva was dishonest because in spite of accepting the position of Dakṣa’s son-in-law, he was not respectful to Dakṣa.
