ismen bhainse par savar yamraj ki murti bana kar bhi puja ka vidhan hai. savitri katha ka bhi shravan karen. yah katha is prakar hai: madra desh ke naresh ashvapti dharm ke pran the. dharmanukul pavitra acharan evan indriya sanympurvak bhagava˜jan hi unke jivan ke adhar the. 18 varshon tak savitri devi ki aradhna kar ke inhonne santti prapti ka ashirvad paya tha. savitri ne inhin ki saubhagyavti patni (jo malav naresh ki kanya thi) ke garbh se janm liya tha.
savitri apurva guni aur shilvti thi. vah kramshah barhti hui vivah ke yogya hui. savitri ko purnavayaska dekh kar chintit ashvapti ne use svayan var dhundhne ka adesh diya. atyant lajja aur sankoch se mata-pita ke charnon ka sparsh kar vah vriddh mantriyon ke sath ratharurh ho kar ramniya tapovan ki or chali. kuch dinon ke bad jab vah lauti, tab devarshi narad uske pita ke samip baithe hue mile.
charan sparsh karne par ashvapti ke sath shri narad ji ne bhi use prempurvak ashish di. ashvapti ne savitri ko varanveshan ke lie bheja tha, yah sanvad shri narad ji ko pahle hi batla diya gaya tha. unhonne savitri se dhire se kaha: ‘beti, tumne kise pati chuna hai, devarshi ko bata da.e ’ savitri ne kaha ki vah shalva naresh dyumatsen ke putra satyavan se vivah karna chahti hai. satyavan ki ayu alp hone ke karan ashvapti ne usse apna nirnay badal lene ko kaha.
kintu usne kaha ki vah jaise bhi hain, usne unhen apna pati svikar kar liya hai aur ab vah kisi aur ka varan nahin kar sakti. is tarah satyavan se savitri ka vivah ho gaya. savitri ko shrinarad ji ki bat yad thi. uska hriday pratikshan ashant rahta tha. pati ki mrityu ki kalpana matra se uska kaleja kanp jata tha.
dhire-dhire vah samay bhi a gaya, jab satyavan ki mrityu ke char din shesh rah gae the. patiprana savitri adhir ho gai thi. usne tin ratri ka nirahar vrat dharan kiya. chaithe din usne pratah kal hi surya dev ko aghrya dan kar sas-sasur tatha brahmanon ka shubh ashirvad prapt kiya. satyavan samidha lene chale, to sas-sasur ki agya le kar savitri bhi us din unke sath ho gai. van men thori lakri bhi vah nahin le pae the ki unka sir chakrane laga. sir ki asahya pira ke karan satyavan savitri ki god men let gae.
ful-si komal savitri ka hriday hahakar kar utha. usne dekha, samne lal vastra pahne shyamavarn ek dev purush khare hain. chakit ho kar usne pranam kiya, to uttar mila: ‘savitri, main yam hun. tumne apne kartavya ka palan kiya hai. ab main satyavan ko le jaunga. inki ayu puri ho gai hai. yam satyavan ke sukshm sharir ko le kar akash marg se chal pade.
adhira savitri bhi unke piche lag gai. yamraj ne use lautne ke lie kaha, to vah boli: ‘bhagavan , patidev ka sath mujhe atyant priya hai. meri gati kahin nahin rukegi. main inke sath hi chalungi.’ savitri ki dharmayukt vani sun kar yam ne usse satyavan ko chor kar anya var mangne ke lie kaha savitri ne pahle vardan men apne sasur ki netra jyoti, dusre men sasur ka khoya rajya, tisre men apne niahsantan pita ke lie sau putra mang lie.
chaithi bar yamraj shart lagana bhul gae, tab usne apne lie bhi satyavan ke virya se sau putron ka vardan prapt kar liya. itne par bhi usne yam ka sath nahin chora. satitva ke karan uski gati abadh thi. usne yam ki stuti karte hue kaha: ‘bhagavan, ab to ap satyavan ke jivan ka hi vardan dijie. isse apke hi satya aur dharm ki raksha hogi. pati ke bina sau putron ka apka vardan satya nahin ho sakega. main pati ke bina sukh, svarg, lakshmi aur jivan ki bhi ichcha nahin rakhti.’
