Satī (सती, “Your Ladyship”):—One of the female offspring from Mahāsarasvatī (sattva-form of Mahādevī). Satī is a name of Durgā, sometimes described as Truth personified. Mahāsarasvatī is one of the three primary forms of Devī, the other two being Mahālakṣmī and Mahākālī. Not to be confused with Sarasvatī, she is a more powerful cosmic aspect (vyaṣṭi) of Devi and represents the guṇa (universal energy) named sattva.

Cikitsa (natural therapy and treatment for medical conditions)

Source: Wisdom Library: Ayurveda: Cikitsa

Śaṭī (शटी) is a Sanskrit word referring to Hedychium spicatum (spiked ginger lily), from the Zingiberaceae family. It can also be spelled as Śaṭi (शटि). Certain plant parts of Śaṭī are eaten as a vegetable (śāka), according to Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. The plant is therefore part of the Śākavarga group of medicinal plants, referring to the “group of vegetables/pot-herbs”. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic value of the plant. The plant is also known as Śaṭīśāka and Kapūrakacarī.

According to the Mādhavacikitsā (7th-century Ayurvedic work), this plant (Śaṭi) is also as a medicine used for the treatment of all major fevers (jvara), as described in the Jvaracikitsā (or “the treatment of fever”) chapter. In this work, the plant is mentioned being part of the Bṛhatyādigaṇa group of medicinal drugs.

According to the Rājanighaṇṭu (verses 6.226-227), Śaṭi (spiked ginger lily) has the following synonyms: Śaṭīpalāśa, Ṣaḍgranthā, Suvratā, Badhū, Sugandhamūla, Gandhālī, Śaṭikā, Palāśikā, Subhadrā, Tṛṇī, Dūrvā, Gandhā, Pṛthupalāśikā, Saumyā, Himodbhavā and Gandhabadhū. The Rājanighaṇṭu is a 13th-century Āurvedic encyclopedia

Properties according to the Carakasaṃhitā: The vegetables of Pāṭha alleviate three doṣas and are constipating.

Properties according to the Rājanighaṇṭu: Śaṭī is bitter, sour, light, hot, appetiser and febrifuge. It is indicated in the disorders of vitiated kapha and rakta and cures pruritis and wounds. It is specifically used to alleviate the diseases of mouth.

Satī (सती) is one of the twenty-four daughters of Dakṣa by Prasūti: one of the three daughters of Svāyambhuvamanu and Śatarūpā, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.16:—“Dakṣa begot twenty-four daughters. The eleven younger daughters were [... Satī,...]. The great aspirants [Bhava (Śiva)] and others took the hands of these famous daughters (e.g., Satī married Bhava/Śiva). Thereupon the entire universe consisting of three worlds, mobile and immobile was filled (with progeny). Thus according to their own actions and at the bidding of Śiva innumerable famous Brahmins were born out of the various living beings”.

Satī is the daughter of Dakṣa, the son of Brahmā, was married to Śiva. She abandoned her body in consequence of the quarrel between her husband and father. It is said in the Purāṇas that Dakṣa instituted a sacrifice but apportioned no share to Śiva. Thereupon Satī felt insulted and entered the sacrificial fire whereupon Śiva sent hundreds and thousands of powerful Gaṇas who destroyed the sacrifice and beheaded Dakṣa. The present section narrates the story of the birth of Satī, her marriage with Śiva, their lovely sports and her tragic end at the sacrifice of her father, Dakṣa.

General definition (in Hinduism)

Source: Apam Napat: Indian Mythology

Sati was one of the hundred daughters of Daksha and was hence also called Daakshayini. She married Lord Shiva against the will of her father. Much angered, Daksha conducted a great Yagna (sacrifice), where all the Gods but Lord Shiva were invited. Sati wanted to attend this Yagna, but Lord Shiva asked her not to go, as nothing but dishonor could result.

Source: WikiPedia: Hinduism

Satī (practice; Devanagari: सती) was a social funeral practice among some Indian communities in which a recently widowed woman would immolate herself on her husband’s funeral pyre. The practice had been banned several times, with the current ban dating to 1829 by the British.

The term is derived from the original name of the goddess Sati, also known as Dakshayani, who self-immolated because she was unable to bear her father Daksha's humiliation of her (living) husband Shiva. The term sati is now sometimes interpreted as "chaste woman". "Sati" appears in both Hindi and Sanskrit texts, where it is synonymous with "good wife"; the term "suttee" was commonly used by Anglo-Indian English writers.[

Etymology: Satī (Devanagari: सती, the feminine of sat "true"; also called suttee);

Sati; He was a fishermans son and held the false view that, according to the Buddhas teaching, a mans consciousness runs on and continues without break of identity.

Satis colleagues did their best to change his way of thinking, but failing to do so, they reported the matter to the Buddha. He questioned Sati, who, however, sat silent and glum; then the Buddha preached to him and the assembled monks the Mahatanhasankhaya Sutta (M.i.256 ff).

Buddhaghosa explains (MA.i.477) that Sati was not a learned man. He knew only the Jatakas, and his views were due to the fact that in the Jatakas various characters were identified with the Buddha.

Sati (Sanskrit anugamana—“following to death”) refers to the practice of giving up one’s life for the sake of a principle of honour.—The history of Kashmir helps us to trace the growth of what has been called sati. Sati (Sanskrit anugamana—following to death) grew out of a custom of the Scytho-Tartars, among whom it was usual for vassals and liegemen upon the death of their lord to kill themselves. The custom survived during the age of chivalry in Kashmir for several centuries as it apparently still does among the Japanese. A woman of quality gave up her life for the sake of a principle of honour. A knight was expected to die fighting and his lady and vassals to remain true to the traditions of Kshatriya chivalry.

Satī.—(EI 6, 30; CII 3, 4; BL; CITD), literally, ‘a chaste woman’; really ‘a woman burning herself with her husband’.
