Satyavan rejoiced at obtaining a wife endowed with every virtue, and she rejoiced at obtaining the husband her heart desired. After her father departed, Savitri set aside all her ornaments and put on bark garments and the ochre robe. Through service, virtue, humility, self-restraint, and the fulfillment of others' wishes, she brought contentment to all. She pleased her mother-in-law with care for her body, with clothing and every necessity; her father-in-law with rites for the gods and restraint of speech; her husband with pleasing words, skill, tranquility, and secret attentiveness. Thus, as they dwelt in that hermitage among the righteous, some time passed for those engaged in austerity, O Bharata. Yet whether Savitri lay or stood, by day or by night, the words Narada had spoken remained fixed in her mind.

Outwardly Savitri enters wholly into the simple life of the hermitage, yet within she carries the knowledge of an appointed hour. Her service is the more precious for being carried out alongside the constant memory of death.
