Savitri saving Satyavan from Yama
Savitri (Sanskrit: सावित्री, IAST: Sāvitrī ) and Satyavan (Sanskrit: सत्यवान, IAST: Satyavān) are a legendary couple in Hinduism. Savitri is a princess who marries an exiled prince named Satyavan, who is prophesied to die early. She saves her husband from the god of death, Yama, persuading the deity to restore his life.[1]
The oldest known version of the story of Savitri and Satyavan is found in Vana Parva (The Book of the Forest) of the Mahabharata.[2][3] The story occurs as an embedded narrative in the Mahabharata as told by sage Markandeya. When Yudhishthira asks Markandeya whether there has ever been a woman whose devotion matched Draupadi's, Markandeya replies by relating this story.
