Kaṃsavatī

Kaṃsavatī

Kaṃsavatī is a daughter of King Ugrasena of the Kukura line, of the Andhaka branch of the Yādavas. The Brahma Purāṇa names her among the five younger sisters of Kaṃsa.

Daughter of Ugrasena

The Brahma Purāṇa traces the line of Andhaka through his son Kukura to Āhuka, who in Kāśyapī had two sons like sons of the devas, Devaka and Ugrasena. Ugrasena had nine sons: Kaṃsa, Nyagrodha, Sunāma, Kaṅka, Subhūshaṇa, Rāshṭrapāla, Sutanu, Anāvṛshṭi and Pushṭimant. Their five younger sisters were Kaṃsā, Kaṃsavatī, Sutanu, Rāshṭrapālī and Kaṅkā. Kaṃsavatī is the second of the five.
