Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol, Sri Aurobindo's 1951 epic poem published by the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, retells the Mahabharata story of Savitri as a spiritual symbol within his own philosophical system. Its strength is that it is the primary text itself, freely available from the Ashram's own site. Its limit is that it is a spiritual founder's own literary and philosophical work, not independent scholarship analyzing his teaching.
