Savitri, B. VIII, C. III
DEATH IN THE FOREST
This is the day that Satyavan must die. Savitri goes with him into the forest, knowing that Death may come at any minute. She waits for Almighty Death to come to take her husband, waiting for the moment when she will begin the mighty work for which she was born. As Satyavan chops a tree branch, his doom comes upon him. Savitri holds him as life leaves his body. Then she grows aware that they are no longer alone. She knows that visible Death is standing there, and Satyavan has passed from her embrace.
