Sarathi (also spelled Sarathy, both from Sanskrit saratha, "one with a chariot" or "charioteer") is an epithet of Krishna (an Avatar of Vishnu) in the Mahabharata, a Hindu mythological epic. It is also a common name in some parts of India. Krishna is also known as Parthasarathy, which translates to charioteer of Partha (another name for Arjuna), or Sanathana Sarathi, eternal charioteer.
