I agree with the merge with Parvati, as the most common name. A new article on Parvati should have sections explaining the different names; including Sati, Uma, Gauri, Parvati. Imc 10:11, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
I realise that the two wives of Shiva were actually two birth (incarnations) on earth of the same goddess Uma. The first wife renounced her material self in order to be born "the daughter of a father who she could respect"; was thus reborn; and wed the same lord Shiva again. I have made specific mention of all this in the article.
However, when I first created the "Dakshayani" page on 16/July/05, I designed it specifically to deal with the many legend and devotions regarding the FIRST wife of Shiva. This was a daughter of Daksha, hence I chose the well-known name "Dakshayani" as the title. The several names of Dakshayani (including "Sati", "Gowri" and "Lalitha") are also routinely applied to Parvati, second wife of Shiva and a daughter of Himavan. However, the cluster of legends associated with Parvati had best be kept on the "Parvati" page while this page is devoted to Dakshayani. This is best; please keep it so.

The article currently says She was named Gowri, the turmeric-hued one, since she was of the fair, golden complexion of auspicious turmeric. I know that the name Gauri is sometimes said to mean 'golden', but thought that it more often derived from the wild cow / buffalo (the female of Gaur)? 'Gauri the beautiful' is a reference to this animal. Imc 18:16, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
In 36th Sarga of Balakanda of Valmiki Ramayana, it is mentioned that Parvati married Eswara and Kumara Swamy was born of Eswara. Now in Shivapurana and perhaps other puranas and also in Ramacharithamanas, it is described that Sati accosts Rama while he was searching for Sita after she was abducted by Ravana in Aranya Kanda. Simply speaking, Parvati was the reincarnation of Sati. Once there is the story of Parvati in Bala Kanda, Sati should have been long dead before Balakanda. How she surfaces again in Aranya Kanda is very puzzling. It may perhaps mean that these puranas cannot be taken at face value.
Also, what has the "teleserial" line to do with a serious mythological entry? I'm surprised that the Wikipedia moderation, so precise and at times grim even on accurate statements, had nothing to object to such questionable an addition instead, and let it through (besides, without even a precise reference to which installment -if any...- of this "teleserial"). This type of elements ought to be placed in the "See Also" section, instead than suddenly intruding and tampering with the flux of a professional entry. Smacks us in the face like the addon of a teenager :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.34.137.9 ( talk) 18:18, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Dakshayani → Sati (goddess) – Two reasons:
Hi everyone,
I would like to share a small correction to this. The translation of Dakshayani does not means Daksha's daughter, it means the lady who follows Daksha's footsteps-Daksha+Ayana (A similar usage is Ramayana- Rama+Ayana means The ayana of Rama i.e. the life of Rama - A possible tranlation). Sati was Daksha's most favorite daughter. She accompanied Daksha every where and earned the alias name Dakshayani. Thanks — Preceding

The father of Sati performed a yagna, a fire ceremony, but he did not invite Shiva, the husband of his daughter. Sati then immolated herself afterward Shiva came, he decapited her father and replaced his head by one of a goat. The father of Sati is the ego which reject the soul, here Shiva. As a result, the truth, represented by Sati whom root is sat- meaning truth, the dharma are burned, destroyed. But the soul (Shiva) always destroy the ego in the end and Shiva replace his head by one of a goat because the goat is linked to the ritual sacrifice in India. 86.198.12.189 ( talk) 13:44, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi everyone,
There is a redirection of Gowri to Sati (goddess) even though philosophically they are worshiped as mother Goddess. Both are supposed to be different characters. Sati devi is the child of Daksha and Gowri means- the fair lady, an adjective or alias name given to Shri Parvati, the daughter of King Himavana. There are other alias name given to Shri Parvati like Aparna(the lady who did not have any sustenance, the name she earned when she left palace in penance of Shiva). Similarly Sati Devi also have alias name Dakshayani (follower of Dakshas path, the name she earned as she always accompanied Daksha Prajapati, being his favorite daughter). So please discuss whether you prefer to redirect Gowri to Parvati or keep it to Sati (goddess).
Thanks Ram — Preceding

Hello everyone. It seems that the structure of this article is a bit confusing. I wonder if the sections Legend and Full Story should be merged? When those were written, or inserted, what was the purpose of that particular distinction? It seems confusing to me. I wonder if a single section entitled Mythology of Sati (or something like that), might be more useful here? Best wishes, AD64 ( talk) 17:00, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
It was proposed in this section that
Sati (Hindu goddess) be
renamed and moved to
Sati (goddess).

Most of the reference state that Sati was the first consort of Shiva.
I've read this Wikipedia page many times and thought it was well-written and demonstrated a simple and easy version of Devi Sati's tale. However, something that stood out to me recently is that Devi Parvati was listed as Devi Sati's sister or co-wife. As a Hindu myself, I've been taught since a young age that Devi Parvati was the reincarnation of Sati, both forms of Mata Adi Parashakti. Devi Parvati is not Devi Sati's sister but they both, being forms of Mahadevi herself, are the same. I just wanted to clarify this and hope to see some changes done in the article because I have never seen a single source stating that Devi Parvati is her sibling. I'd hate to change it myself. 104.230.12.92 ( talk) 23:01, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
