Women in Mahabharata - The Masterlist I

This is a compilation of the women who appear in different versions of the Mahabharata as well as the folkloric literature that enriches it further.

Written versions being actively covered so far are Vaishampayana Mahabharata (considered the mainstream original), Harivamsha (appendix to the Vaishampayana version), Vishnu Puran (written around the same time and hence considered as a supplementary narrative), and Jaimineya Mahabharata (only from the Ashvamedha Parva that still survives).

I sometimes also supplement interesting information about these women if I find them in other purans.

Other sources occasionally used/planned for future: Bhasa's plays, Kabi Sanjay's Bangla Mahabharat, Kashiram Dash's Bangla Mahabharat and the Bheel Mahabharat.

To be added if I find good translations: Souther Recension of Mahabharata, Javanese and Balinese Kakawins, Sarala Mahabharata, Jain and Jataka versions. I might also add more here if I find more versions to be excited about.

She is the mother of the Danava tribe and a wife of Kashyapa. She is among the progenitors of the many non-Manava tribes such as Deva, Daitya, Danava, Naga and Garudas.

Forerunners among her children include Vritra, Puloma and Vrishaparva, and she is the grandmother of Shachi, Indumati and Sharmishtha.
