A princess of Kaikeya, wife of King Dasa-ratha, and mother of Bharata, his third son. She carefully tended Dasa-ratha when he was wounded in battle, and in gratitude he promised to grant any two requests she might make. Urged by the malignant counsels of Mantharā, a female attendant, she made use of this promise to procure the exile of Rāma, and to promote the advancement of her own son, Bharata, to his place. See Dasa-ratha, Rāma. - [Previous: c5.755](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.755) - [Next: c5.757](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.757) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.756](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.756) · Pramāṇa
