    Anaupamyā — the wife of Bāṇāsura. Illtreated by

    mother-in-law and sister-in-law she was initiated into a

    mantra by Nārada to control them and to be ever pleasing

    to her husband. By this she left the strict path of chastity;

    offered gifts to the sage who refused them on the plea of

    his plenty.

    M. 187. 25-52.
