Women in Mahabharata - Peevari
She is the daughter of Pulastya, and a greatly educated woman- a yogini herself. She is also known as Ekashringa.
It seems to have been indicated that she might be a child adopted by all the saptarshis, but brought up specifically by Pulastya, which makes her a paternal aunt of Ravana and his siblings.
She is noted as a pitri-kanya, which is used to describe girls who were abandoned by their parents and grew up in the various ashrams of the rishis, helping manage their households. Another such pitri-kanya was Viraja, Nahusha's wife.
She is married to Shuka, and her adopted daughter is called Kritvi/Keerti. She is Vyasa's youngest daughter-in-law, after Gandhari, Kunti, Madri, and Devaki.
Her sons are named Kritvi, Gaura, Prabhu and Shambhu.
