Daughter of Śūra

The Sūta, telling the munis the line of Vṛshṇi, says that Devamīḍha begot Śūra on Asiknī, and that on Bhojyā Śūra begot ten sons, the first of them Vasudeva, called Ānakadundubhi because drums sounded in svarga at his birth. Śūra also had five daughters, wives of heroes: Pṛthukīrti, Pṛthā, Śrutadevā, Śrutaśravā and Rājādhidevī.
