As the story goes, Yudhishthira, the oldest Pandava Prince, once visited Rishi Markandeya and asked him if there had ever been a woman whose devotion to her husband could equal Draupadi's (the wife of the five Pandavas). The sage replied to the Prince by narrating the story of Savitri and Satyavan. The King of the Madra Kingdom, Ashwapati, was childless for several years. He and his wife Malavika were pious, God-fearing people. Disappointed at having no children, the King lived an ascetic's life for many years. He was extremely devoted to the Sun God, also called Savitr. He would pray to his ishta-devata (favourite deity) every day, offering obeisance, begging the Lord to grant him the boon of a child. Finally, pleased with his devotion, Lord Savitr appeared before him and granted the boon that the King would soon have a beautiful daughter. The couple was overjoyed at the prospect of welcoming a member into the family. When their daughter was born, they named her Savitri, in honour of Lord Savitr, who had blessed them with their child. Soon after, Savitri and Satyavan got married and she went to live with him in the forest. She gave up all her luxuries, silk clothing and jewellery and instead, wore the apparel of a hermit. She lived a simple life, exhibiting complete respect and obedience to her parents-in-law and husband. As Satyavan was splitting wood in the forest, he suddenly felt overwhelmingly weak and lay his head on Savitri's lap. He then saw the messengers of Yama (the God of Death) coming to claim his soul. He knew his time was almost up. The messengers saw Savitri and, awestruck with her divine aura, they quietly left without taking her husband's soul. Infuriated that his messengers could not bring Satyavan's soul with them, Yama decided to go there himself. As he proceeded to carry his soul away, Savitri kept following him and refused to turn back. She then sweet-talked Yama into giving up his hold over Satyavan's soul. She praised Yama as the greatest one; the Just One who always adhered to Dharma. She hailed him as the Dharmaraja, the King of Dharma; the one who rules above all else. Pleased with her general persona and her wisdom, Yama told her to ask for any boon, except that of the life of Satyavan. Savitri first asked that her father-in-law's eyesight and lost kingdom be restored to him. She then asked for a hundred children for her father and another hundred children for herself and Satyavan. While Yama granted her the first three boons, he was in a dilemma about her last one. Granting that boon would mean having to bring Satyavan back to life. Impressed with Savitri's purity and complete devotion to her husband, he told her to ask for one more boon. This time, he omitted the condition, "except for the life of Satyavan". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Please Like, Share and Subscribe our videos.** Press the bell button to stay notified about our new videos! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: 1.
