Story of Savitri, Satyavan & Yamraj
They go and while Satyavan is splitting wood, he suddenly becomes weak and lays his head in Savitriâs lap. Yama himself, the god of Death, comes to claim the soul of Satyavan.
Savitri follows Yama as he carries the soul away. When he tries to convince her to turn back, she offers successive formulas of wisdom.
First she praises obedience to Dharma, then friendship with the strict, then Yama himself for his just rule, then Yama as King of Dharma, and finally noble conduct with no expectation of return.
Impressed at each speech, Yama praises both the content and style of her words and offers any boon, except the life of Satyavan.
She first asks for eyesight and restoration of the kingdom for her father-in-law, then a hundred children for her father, and then a hundred children for herself and Satyavan.
The last wish creates a dilemma for Yama, as it would indirectly grant the life of Satyavan. However, impressed by Savitri's dedication and purity, he offers one more time for her to choose any boon, but this time omitting "except for the life of Satyavan".
Savitri instantly asks for Satyavan to return to life. Yama grants life to Satyavan and blesses both of them to attain life of four hundred years.
Satyavan awakens as though he has been in a deep sleep and returns to his parents along with his wife. Meanwhile, at their home, Dyumatsena regains his eyesight before Savitri and Satyavan return. Since Satyavan still does not know what happened, Savitri relays the story to her parents-in-law, husband, and the gathered ascetics. As they praise her, Dyumatsenaâs ministers arrive with news of the death of his usurper. Joyfully, the king and his entourage return to his kingdom.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savitri_and_Satyavan
