Translation
The reason is that Satī's father, Dakṣa, used to chastise Lord Śiva in spite of Śiva's faultlessness. Therefore, before attaining a mature age, Satī gave up her body by dint of yogic mystic power.
Purport
Lord Śiva, being the head of all mystic yogīs, never even constructed a home for his residence. Satī was the daughter of a great king, Dakṣa, and because his youngest daughter, Satī, selected as her husband Lord Śiva, King Dakṣa was not very much satisfied with her. Therefore whenever she met her father, he unnecessarily chastised her husband, although Lord Śiva was faultless. Because of this, before attaining a mature age Satī gave up the body given by her father, Dakṣa, and therefore she could not produce a child.
