सावित्री-यमसंवादः
Sāvitrī’s Dialogue with Yama and the Restoration of Satyavān
अभिगच्छाव सुग्रीवं शैलस्थं हरिपुड्रवम् । मयि शिष्ये च भृत्ये च सहाये च समाश्वस,“हम दोनों यहाँसे वानरराज सुग्रीवके पास चलें, जो ऋष्यमूक पर्वतके शिखरपर रहते हैं। मैं आपका शिष्य, सेवक और सहायक हूँ। मेरे रहते आपको धैर्य रखना चाहिये”
abhigacchāva sugrīvaṁ śailasthaṁ haripuṅgavam | mayi śiṣye ca bhṛtye ca sahāye ca samāśvasa ||
Mārkaṇḍeya said: “Let us go to Sugrīva, the foremost of the monkeys, who dwells upon the mountain peak. Take heart: in me you have a disciple, a servant, and a helper. So long as I am with you, you should remain steady and unshaken.”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches steadiness and reassurance in adversity: one should seek the right alliance and proceed with confidence when supported by a loyal, duty-bound companion who offers service, guidance, and practical help.
Mārkaṇḍeya urges moving toward Sugrīva, the monkey leader living on a mountain peak (Ṛṣyamūka), and consoles the listener by pledging himself as disciple, servant, and ally—encouraging courage and composure during the next step of the journey.
