Ajñātavāsa-saṅkalpaḥ — Yudhiṣṭhira’s Resolve and Dhaumya’s Exempla on Concealment
एवं तस्यै वरं दत्त्वा धर्मराज: प्रतापवान् । निवर्तयित्वा सावित्रीं सस््वमेव भवनं ययौ,सावित्रीको इस प्रकार वरदान दे प्रतापी धर्मराज उसे लौटाकर अपने लोकको चले गये
evaṁ tasyai varaṁ dattvā dharmarājaḥ pratāpavān | nivartayitvā sāvitrīṁ sa svam eva bhavanaṁ yayau ||
Thế rồi, sau khi ban ân huệ cho Savitrī, đấng Dharmarāja oai hùng (Diêm Vương) khiến nàng quay trở lại, còn chính Ngài thì trở về cõi của mình.

Educational Q&A
Dharma, expressed through truthful and principled speech, has transformative power: even the strict lord of justice responds when a request is aligned with righteousness and granted through a proper boon, preserving moral and cosmic order.
After Savitrī’s steadfast pursuit and dharmic dialogue, Yama (Dharmarāja) grants her a boon, turns her back from following him further, and then departs to his own realm—marking the conclusion of this phase of the encounter.
