"Afterwards the girl grew young and she was promised to Satyavâna. At the same time Nârada came and told the king 'King! Satyavâna with whom you think of marrying your daughter will die within a year' The king then said to himself 'I have already resolved to give my daughter to one particular person and under the circumstances I shall not change my determination' With that mind he gave her away to Satyavâna, the son of Dyumatı Sen Sâvitrî on becoming his wife became anxious on the recollection of the verdict of Nârada and began to devoutfully serve her lord and her father in law and mother in law Her blind father in law was deprived of his kingdom and resided with his son and his son's wife in the forest Sâvitrî served them with great care and they were greatly satisfied—12 16
