    ASTĪ . Daughter of Jarāsandha, King of Magadha.

    Kaṃsa married Astī and also another daughter of Jarā-

    sandha. (Ślokas 29 to 32, Chapter 14, Sabhā Parva,

    M.B.). Chapter 12 of Agni Purāṇa states that Jarāsandha

    went to war with the Yādavas because of the per-

    suasion of these daughters.
