The Mahabharata describes Sashwat as the name of a respected and ancient sage who lived during the great war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. He was a devoted follower of Lord Yama, the god of death, and performed severe tapasya (penance) to gain his blessings. His name Sashwat means 'pure' or 'holy'.
