Sanskrit and Hindi Witness

इस पाठ-साक्षी का श्लोक-पता वर्तमान ŚB मार्ग से ठीक मिलता है। गीता प्रेस और वर्तमान अंग्रेज़ी पाठ को मिलाया नहीं गया है; दोनों अपने-अपने स्रोत-रूप में साथ पढ़े जा सकते हैं।

ŚB 4.2.1 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

भवे शीलवतां श्रेष्ठे दक्षो दुहितृवत्सल:। विद्वेषमकरोत्कस्मादनादृत्यात्मजां सतीम्॥ १

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

विदुरजीने पूछा— ब्रह्मन्! प्रजापति दक्ष तो अपनी लड़कियोंसे बहुत ही स्नेह रखते थे, फिर उन्होंने अपनी कन्या सतीका अनादर करके शीलवानोंमें सबसे श्रेष्ठ श्रीमहादेवजीसे द्वेष क्यों किया?॥ १॥
