English to Hindi Art/Literary History Indian History

Greetings,

My dictionary defines the word सती as 1. (adj.) virtuous, faithful (a wife). 2. f. a virtuous or faithful wife. 3. hist. a widow who burns herself along with her husband’s body

Which is all very useful, but what I am looking for is the most common Hindi word for the actual act which the woman commits, not the word for the woman herself.

I gather that a number of Sanskrit-based possibilities exist: अग्निप्रवेश अनुगमन etc. – but, as I say, I really wish to find out what the most common word is.

All the best,

Simon
