About Vat Savitri Vrat Mantras
Vat Savitri Vrat Mantras, known in Sanskrit as श्री वट सावित्री व्रत मन्त्राः, is a curated collection of five canonical Sanskrit mantras prescribed for the Vat Savitri Vrat — observed annually by married Hindu women on Jyeshtha Amavasya (in North India) or Jyeshtha Purnima (in Western India). The mantras follow the traditional Shodashopachara (sixteen-step) puja vidhi as preserved in classical Vrata-Nibandha texts including Hemadri's Chaturvarga Chintamani (Vrata Khanda) and Bhatta Lakshmidhara's Krityakalpataru (Vrata Kanda), drawing from the older Skanda Purana and Bhavishya Purana traditions. The five mantras include: (1) the Dhyana Mantra invoking the four-faced lotus-seated form of Lord Brahma, (2) the Avahana Mantra inviting Devi Savitri, Satyavan, and Yama together, (3) the Vat Vriksha Pradakshina Mantra recited while circumambulating the banyan tree, (4) the Savitri-Satyavan Mantra invoking the divine couple for the husband's longevity, and (5) the Arghya-Saubhagya Prapti Mantra used during the offering of arghya, asking for akhanda saubhagya. This mantra page complements the Vat Savitri Vrat Katha (the legendary story from the Mahabharata Vana Parva), the Savitri Devi Stotram (Brahma's six-verse stuti from Brahma Vaivarta Purana), and the Ashwattha Stotram (sacred tree prayer) — together forming the complete liturgical set for Vat Savitri observance. On this page, you can read all five mantras in Devanagari Sanskrit with English transliteration, Hindi meaning (arth), step-by-step puja context, and free PDF download.
