Whenever there is consideration of chastity, Sati, this wife of Lord Śiva and daughter of Dakṣa, is considered first. Vidura, therefore, was astonished. "Dakṣa is such a great man," he thought, "and is the father of Sati. And Lord Śiva is the spiritual master of everyone. How then could there possibly be so much enmity between them that Sati, the most chaste goddess, could give up her body because of their quarrel?"</~~span~~>		<div class="text">'''[[Vanisource:SB 4.2.2\|SB 4.2.2, Purport]]:''' Lord Śiva is described here as carācara-guru, the spiritual master of all animate and inanimate objects.
