Markandeya said : The night having come to a close, when the sun's disc had appeared (on the horizon), all th 'se ascetius, whose only wealth devotion, having performed their mations, congregated (at the asylum of Dyumatsena).

was Those great sages were never satisfied in relating again and again of the high fortune of Savitri, to Dyumatsena.

Then, O king, it so chanced that all the subjects came from Shalva and informed Dyumatsena of the death of his enemy at the hands of his own minister.

And they related to him all that had taken place saying "hearing the death of the usurper together with his friends and allies at the hands of his own minister and of the dispersion of his troops, all the subjects have in one voice declared for you, their legitimate king and they have also said whether you are blind or not you shall be (their) king.

O king, we have been dispatched to you on the strength of this determination (on the part of your subjects to install you king). These cars and these four kinds of troops have arrived for you.

(Therefore), O monarch, do set out. May you prosper. Your restoration has been proclaimed in the city. May you for ever occupy the portion filled by your sire and grandsire."

And seeing the king restored to sight and healthy, they with their eyes expanded in wonder, bowed down their heads to him.

Then the king having greeted all the aged Brahmanas inhabiting the hermitage and in his turn being greeted by them, set out for his capital.

And Shaivya together with Savitri surrounded by troops, went in a palanquin, adorned with splendid sheets and carried by men.

Then the priests joyfully installed Dyumatsena as king and his high-souled son as prince regent.

After a long time Savitri was deliver of a hundred heroic and illustrious sons who never retreated from battle.

She had also one hundred highly powerful uterine brothers begotten by Ashvapati, the king of Madra, on Malavi.

Thus Savitri rescued from misfortune, her own self, her father, mother-in law, father-inlaw and her husband's line.

Similarly, the auspicious Draupadi of excellent character, will deliver you all from your misfortune as the virtuous Savitri did.

Vaishampayana said : Thus, O monarch, instructed by that highsouled one ((Markandeya), the Pandava (Yudhishthira) devoid of grief and affliction continued to dwell in Kamyaka.

The man who listens with a devout spirit, to the excellent history of Savitri ever meets with happiness and success and never experiences sorrow.
