Savitri's Unwavering Love

The Story of Savitri and Satyavan

Savitri married Satyavan, knowing he was destined to die within a year. When Yama, the god of death, came to claim Satyavan's soul, Savitri followed him, pleading for her husband's life. Yama was impressed by her devotion, wisdom, and persistence. He granted her a series of boons, all except for the life of Satyavan. Finally, Savitri cleverly asked for sons, which could only be possible if Satyavan lived. Yama, bound by his word, had to restore Satyavan's life. This story exemplifies wifely devotion, wisdom, and the power of truth.
