Sarathy (Sanskrit: सारथि, romanized: Sārathi, lit. 'charioteer') is an epithet of Krishna (an avatar of Vishnu) in the Mahabharata, a major Hindu epic. It is also a common name in South India. In the Mahabharata, Krishna initially counselled peace to the Pandavas and Kauravas, two closely related families that chose to fight over the Kuru kingdom in northern India. Eventually siding with the Pandavas, he offered his services as a charioteer to Arjuna, the Pandavas' greatest archer. Krishna is thus accorded the title Parthasarathy, which translates to the charioteer of Partha (another name for Arjuna), or Sanathana Sarathi, eternal charioteer. The Bhagavad Gita, considered by many traditions to be Hinduism's most important religious text, consists of a dialogue between Krishna, the chariote

text
| - "Know the Self as the lord of the chariot and the body as, verily, the chariot, know the intellect as the charioteer and the mind as, verily, the reins. The senses, they say, are the horses.... He who has understanding for the driver of the chariot and controls the rein of his mind, he reaches the end of the journey, the supreme abode of the all-pervading." (en)
- The body of creatures is a chariot; sattva they call the charioteer; the senses, they call horses; the mental organ of action is the reins. Whoever follows after the rush of those running steeds, he turns about like a wheel in the cycle of samsara. Whoever restrains them with understanding , that restrainer/charioteer does not return. This chariot, by which the unwise are bewildered, must be controlled ....Restraint, renunciation, and vigilance , these three are the horses of Brahman. Whoever is firm in this spiritual chariot , and yoked with the reins of morality, having renounced the fear of death, O king, he attains to the world of Brahman. (en)
