सावित्री-यमसंवादः
Sāvitrī’s Dialogue with Yama and the Restoration of Satyavān
इत्येवं परिभर्त्सन्तीस्त्रास्यमाना पुन: पुनः । भर्तशोकसमाविष्टा नि:श्वस्येदमुवाच ता:
ity evaṁ paribhartsantīs trāsyamānā punaḥ punaḥ | bhartaśokasamāviṣṭā niḥśvasyedam uvāca tāḥ ||
अशा रीतीने त्या तिला वारंवार धिक्कारत आणि पुन्हा पुन्हा भय दाखवीत राहिल्या; तेव्हा पतीशोकाने व्याकुळ झालेली ती दीर्घ निःश्वास टाकून त्यांना हे वचन बोलली.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how grief can overwhelm a person, yet even under intimidation and harsh reproach one may still respond through deliberate speech—suggesting the ethical importance of restraint and articulation amid emotional distress.
Some women (or a group of female speakers) repeatedly scold and try to frighten a grieving woman. Overcome with sorrow for her husband, she sighs and begins to reply to them, marking a transition into her forthcoming speech.
