Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Recently there was a post about nonexistence of sati rite in sastras. Here are few references: * Gandhari - Srimad Bhagavatam 1.13.58 * Arci, wife of King Prithu - SB 4.23.22 * Bahuka's wife (she was prevented from doing it) - SB 9.8.3 * Kunti and Madri (both wanted to do it, but only Madri did) - Mahabharata Adi Parva * wives of warriors who died at Prabhasa - Mbh 2.35 (Krishna Dharma's edition) Reasons for sati - Garuda Purana 2.38.29-32 (J.L. Shastri edition). Jan www.veda.harekrsna.cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
