Rani Sati Dadi is related to Mahabharata. She was Utera, wife of Abhimanyu. When Abhimanyu was died in the battle of Mahabharata by that time Utera wanted to be sati by putting her body into the funeral fire of Abhimanyu. Sri Krishna came to her and advised her against it. He also gave her boon that it would only be possible in the next birth and her wish to become sati will be fulfilled. In the next life her name was Narayani daughter of Gursamal in the village of Thukaye in Rajasthan. Abhimanyu became Thandhan son of Jaliram at Hissar in his second life. Thandhan has a beautiful horse and used for his purpose. Thandhan got married to Narayani and spent his life nicely. One of the king's son from Hissar wished to take the beautiful horse of Thandhan but he denied to give the horse. Finally the king's son decided to get the horse forcibly and fought with Thandhan. Thandhan killed the king's son. By getting the news of death of his son, king decided to kill the Thandhan. Thandhan died in front of Narayani in the battle while fighting with king. Narayani fought with the king and killed the king. She ordered Ranaji who was the care taker of the horse, to make proper arrangement so that she can put herself in the fire with her husband.
