At that very time, in the great forest, Dyumatsena regained his sight and, with a clear mind, saw everything around him. Together with his wife Shaibya, grieving over their son, he wandered through the hermitages, rivers, forests, lakes, and various places. Hearing any sound at all, they would lift their faces and run, thinking, 'Satyavan is coming with Savitri.' Their feet were cut, rough, wounded, bloodied, and pierced by kusha grass and thorns; they ran about like madmen. All the brahmins, the dwellers of the hermitage, caught up with them, surrounded them, comforted them, and brought them back to their hermitage. There the aged ascetics consoled Dyumatsena and his wife with various discourses and stories of former kings. But the old couple, remembering their son's childhood again, grieved and wept: 'O son! O virtuous daughter-in-law! Where are you, where are you?'

Yama's first boon is already at work: Dyumatsena has regained his sight. But sight without a son only deepens the pain; the gifts of dharma must come together in their fullness.
