Rāshṭrapālī
Rāshṭrapālī · rāshṭra-pālī, “she who protects the kingdom”
Rāshṭrapālī 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. Rāshṭrapālī is the fourth of the five.
