Lady '''Yasomati''' (died 604/605/606 CE) was an ancient Indian queen consort<ref>Although it is unknown did she have an official title, she was likely a ''[[Rani]]''.</ref> as the chief wife of King [[Prabhakaravardhana]] of [[Thanesar]].

==Name==
Yasomati is also known as '''Yasovati''',<ref>Bireshwar Nath Srivastava (1976). ''Harsha and His Times: A Glimpse of Political History During the Seventh Century A.D.''.</ref> and as '''Yasomati Devi'''<ref>''Epigraphia Indica''. [[Archaeological Survey of India]]. Published in 1971.</ref> (''[[devi]]'' = "[[goddess]]"). Since "s" in the common English spelling of her name is pronounced as "sh" in "[[fish]]", her name is also spelled as '''Yashomati'''.

==Biography==
According to a theory, Yasomati was a daughter of King [[Yashodharman]] of [[Malwa]] and a sister of King [[Shiladitya of Malwa]].<ref>Chintaman Vinayak Vaidya (1979). ''History of Mediaeval Hindu India: Rise of Hindu kingdoms''. Yasomati is mentioned on the pages 38 and 39.</ref>

Yasomati married [[Prabhakaravardhana]] (member of the [[Pushyabhuti dynasty]]), and she bore him three children:
*King [[Rajyavardhana]]
*King [[Harsha]]<ref>Abraham Eraly (2011). ''The First Spring: The Golden Age of India''. p. 372. "Two centuries later, in another celebrated incident, Harsha's mother Yasomati committed sati..."</ref><ref>Andrea Major (2007). ''Sati: A Historical Anthology''. Oxford University Press.</ref> (हर्षवर्धन)
*[[Rajyashri]], Queen consort of [[Kannauj]]

Yasomati burnt herself to death, and this is sometimes considered ''[[Sati (practice)|sati]]'', although ''sati'' is a term usually used for the ''widows'' who died by self-immolation, whilst Yasomati killed herself before her husbandʻs death. Poet [[Bāṇabhaṭṭa]] mentioned in ''[[Harshacharita]]'' that Yasomati distributed her [[jewellery]] to the other members of the royal court shortly before she killed herself.<ref>Jakub Pigoń, ed.
