[PDF] HOLISTIC MODEL OF PERSONALITY BASED ON THE SIX SCHOOLS (DARSHANAS) OF HINDU PHILOSOPHY AND WESTERN PERSONALITY CONCEPT.

… The main schools of Indian philosophy were formalised chiefly between 1000 BCE to the early centuries CE. Subsequent centuries produced commentaries and reformulations continuing up to as late as the 20th century by Aurobindo and Prabhupada among others …

In the two epics of Mahabharata and Ramayana, Sati is extremely rare, and possibly a later interpolation.
In Ramayana, there is one case of Sati in Uttara Kanda, but not in the main epic.
In Mahabharata we have the famous case of Pandu's second wife Madri who becomes a Sati
https://twitter.com/shrikanth_krish/status/1064017125440921603?s=19
Even the Puranic literature, which mostly post dates the two epics, is largely ignorant of Sati, except for the odd exception like Padma Purana, which we will touch upon later.
https://twitter.com/shrikanth_krish/status/1064018840928034816?s=19
Poets and dramatists of the classical period (200AD to 600AD) are gradually becoming aware of Sati. And this is reflecting in their writings.
Most notably Bhasa, Vatsyayana, Kalidasa and even Shudraka
In Bhasa's Urubhanga and Duta Ghatotkacha, we see the dramatist deviating from the older Mahabharata epic.
In Bhasa's adaptations of MB episodes, we see the wives of Abhimanyu, Duryodhana and Jayadratha committing Sati.
Not in Mahabharata
