The reason is that Satī’s father, Dakṣa, used to rebuke Lord Śiva in spite of Śiva’s faultlessness. Consequently, 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 criticized 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.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fourth Canto, First Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Genealogical Table of the Daughters of Manu.”

Translation
Because her father was unfavorable to Śiva by showing anger though Śiva was faultless, she gave up her body through mystic trance before reaching maturity.
This gives the reason for not producing a son. Her father was unfavorable to faultless Śiva by showing anger.
Thus ends the commentary on the First Chapter of the Fourth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
Chapter Two
Dakṣa Insults Śiva
Personal Guidance
Satī gave up her body because her father wouldn't stop rebuking her husband — environmental disrespect of the holy can be fatal to the sensitive soul. Choose your relational atmosphere carefully; some toxicity kills.
Reflection Questions
- What relational atmosphere am I tolerating that is slowly killing my devotion?
- Where do I need to remove myself from chronic disrespect of what I hold sacred?
