Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 4 - Chapter 1 - Verse 11


Sanskrit:

एष मे शिष्यतां प्राप्तो यन्मे दुहितुरग्रहीत् ।पाणिं विप्राग्निमुखत: सावित्र्या इव साधुवत् ॥ ११ ॥

ITRANS:

eṣa me śiṣyatāṁ prāptoyan me duhitur agrahītpāṇiṁ viprāgni-mukhataḥsāvitryā iva sādhuvat

Translation:

He has already accepted himself as my subordinate by marrying my daughter in the presence of fire and brāhmaṇas. He has married my daughter, who is equal to Gāyatrī, and has pretended to be just like an honest person.

Purport:

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.
