सावित्री (वटपौर्णिमा) · Marathi आरती
वटसावित्रीची आरती – आरती वडराजा
अश्वपती पुसता झाला । नारद सांगताती तयाला ।
अल्पायुषी सत्यवंत । सावित्रीनें का प्रणीला ।
आणखी वर वरी बाळे । मनीं निश्चय जो केला ।
आरती वडराजा ॥ १ ॥
दयावंत यमदूजा । सत्यवंत ही सावित्री ।
भावे करीन मी पूजा । आरती वडराजा ॥ धृ ॥
ज्येष्ठामास त्रयोदशी । करिती पूजन वडाशीं ।
त्रिरात्र व्रत करूनीया । जिंकी तूं सत्यवंताशी ।
आरती वडराजा ॥ २ ॥
स्वर्गावरी जाऊनियां । अग्निखांब कचळीला ।
धर्मराजा उचकला । हत्या घालील जीवाला ।
येई ग पतिव्रते । पती नेई गे आपुला ।
आरती वडराजा ॥ ३ ॥
जाऊनियां यमापाशीं । मागतसे आपुला पती ।
चारी वर देऊनियां । दयावंता द्यावा पती ।
आरती वडराजा ॥ ४ ॥
पतिव्रते तुझी कीर्ति । ऐकुनी ज्या नारी ।
तुझें व्रतें आचरती । तुझी भुवनें पावती ।
आरती वडराजा ॥ ५ ॥
पतिव्रते तुझी स्तुती । त्रिभुवनी ज्या करिती ।
स्वर्गी पुष्पवृष्टी । करुनियां आणिलासी आपुला पती ।
अभय देऊनियां । पतिव्रते तारी त्यासी ॥ ६ ॥

What the aarti says, in simple English.
Summary – King Ashvapati asked, and Narad told him that Satyavan was short-lived: why had Savitri chosen him? ‘Choose another husband, child,’ he said, but her mind was made up. Refrain: O merciful one – here are Satyavan and Savitri; I will worship with devotion – aarti to the king of trees, the banyan. On Jyeshtha trayodashi women worship the banyan; keeping a three-night vrat, Savitri won Satyavan back. She followed him to the world beyond; Dharmaraja (Yama) was moved, and said, ‘Come, faithful wife, take back your husband.’ She went to Yama and asked for her husband; after granting four boons, the kind one returned him. Women who hear your fame keep your vrat and reach your world. The three worlds praise you; flowers rained from heaven as you brought your husband home – the faithful wife saved him.
