| - Dākshāyani (Devanagari: दाक्षायणी) or Satī (सती) is a Hindu Goddess of marital felicity and longevity. She is worshipped particularly by Hindu women to seek the long life of their husbands. An aspect of Devi, Dākshāyani is the first consort of Shiva, the second being Pārvatī, the reincarnation of Dākshāyani herself. In Hindu legend, both Dākshāyani and Pārvatī successively plays the role of bringing Shiva away from ascetic isolation into creative participation in the world. The act of Sati, in which a Hindu widow immolates herself on her husband's funeral pyre as a final and consummate act of loyalty and devotion, is patterned after the deed committed by this Goddess to uphold the honour of her husband. Dākshāyani is also known as Satī, Ahi, Mukesh, Udai, and by over a thousand other names.
