Satyavati retired to the forest in penance and died there.

While Satyavati's presence of mind, far-sightedness and mastery of realpolitik are praised, her unscrupulous means of achieving her goals and her blind ambition are criticised.

Little is said about Satyavati in the Mahabharata; however, later texts - the Harivamsa and the Devi-Bhagavata Purana - elaborate her legend.
