Savitri Follows Yama and Wins Four BoonsSavitri follows Yama as he carries away Satyavan's life, refusing to turn back. Through a sustained dialogue on dharma and virtue, she wins four boons from the god of death — her father-in-law's sight and kingdom, a hundred brothers for her father, a hundred sons through Satyavan — and finally, Satyavan's life itself.
Markandeya Narrates Savitri's Story to the PandavasMarkandeya continues his narration to the Pandavas, describing the morning after Savitri's trials. The subjects of Shalva arrive to recall Dyumatsena — their enemy has been slain by his own minister, and they want him back as king. Dyumatsena, now with sight restored, departs for the city with his family, and Savitri later bears a hundred sons and has a hundred brothers.
