• Rise, O woman, to a new phase of life, your husband is now dead and gone. Come take the hand
of this man from among the living who offers to take your hand and maintain you, and live in
consort with this other and new husband of yours for a life time. –Dr. Tulsi Ram

Rise, O woman, to a new phase of life, your husband is now dead and gone. Come take the hand of
this man from among the living who offers to take your hand and maintain you, and live in consort
with this other and new husband of yours for a life time. -Dr. Tulsi Ram
This verse to be spoken by the husband's brother, etc., to the wife of the dead man, and he is to
make her leave her husband's body: (Āśvalāyana Gṛhya Sūtra, 4.2); go to beings - go to the home of
the living, i.e., your sons, grandsons etc. -Sayanacharya
Review of Ancient Indian Literature
• There is no mention of sahagamana (sati)
whatsoever in either Vedic literature or any of
the early Dharmasutras or Dharmasastras. By
"early Dharmasutras or Dharmasastras", I
refer specifically to both the early
Dharmasutras of Apastamba, Hiranyakesin,
Gautama, Baudhayana and Vasistha, and the
later Dharmasastras of Manu, Narada, and
Yajnavalkya.
