Satyavan Revived and the Return to the HermitageSatyavan regains consciousness in Savitri's arms, confused about the dark being who was dragging him away. Despite the deep night and the dangers of the forest, he insists on returning immediately to his aged blind parents, who he knows will be frantic with worry.
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.
