Incornation of Pravati as Sati
The Goddess Adi Shakti was born as daughter to Daksha Prajaipathi and Prasuti, who was the granddaughter of Kardama Muni and Devahuti. She named as Dakshayani. She was of golden complexion and simply beautiful, brilliant, insightful, gentle, and brave and fearlessness personified. Her brought up was full of loving and caring. Soon, she became dearest to Daksha Prajaipathi. He knew that Dakshayani is Shakti herself. She always tried to be a good daughter, respected, loved, and cared for her father.



Dakshayani loved Lord Shiva right from her childhood. Her marriage was the result of her pure devotional love to the Lord. This did upset her father, who hated Lord Shiva right from the beginning. He was not willing to give her hand and distanced himself from her. This enmity culminated in a great sacrifice he had been hosting, one to which he invited all and sundry, family and allies, Devas and Rishis, courtiers and subjects, and consciously excluding her from the list. He refused to invite her husband. Her married life was extremely agreeable for Lord Shiva. She proved to be more than an ideal match for him and in total agreement with all his apparent wild ways. Lord Shiva was much pleased at her devotion and called her “Sati.”
