    Summary

    The Princesses of Madra that are listed in the Mahabharata all tend to have rather tragic lives. I find it to be a fascinating connection, though it may not have been intended as such.

    Also, I do not condone Sati or suicide in any form. Neither am I comparing these extraordinary women to each other on how they chose to face things. It's simply a story on the epic.

    So, 4 times the princesses of Madra lost their husbands +1 time she did not.

    Summary

    Savitri is hiding something from him.

    Out of the corner of his eye, or in those few moments when he returns after a long day’s work and before she realizes he has entered the hut, he will see her closing her eyes as though in pain, biting her lip and furrowing her forehead. As the days go by, her smiles become fewer and fewer. Her attention flags. Something troubles her, and no matter how directly or how gently he asks her, she will not answer.

    anakaha (Hindi): unsaid
