'''Vaishnavivati'' also known as ('''Bhādrāvatī''' and '''Yogita''') was the wife of [[Ashvins]] basically known as '''Ashwini Kumaras'''. She is the spiritual mother of [[Nakula]] and [[Sahadeva]] and she is the granddaughter of [[Krishna]] and [[Rukmini]]. She is also the goddess of fulfillment and joy. Some [[Hindus]] believe that she is also the goddess of wisdom sometimes. She also blessed [[Uttanpada]] who was the husband of Suniti and Suruchi. Her attachments are made with the story of [[Vishnu]] and [[Lakshmi]], in which the [[Brahma Purana]] says Queen Rohinivati gave birth to her by the blessings of the planet gods. It was the choice of [[Krishna]] who chose his granddaughter as the wife of [[Ashvins]]. Basically, some stories of her legend match with [[Shiva]] making [[Parvati]], a goddess. | |||

There is another story of Kalayavana when,Once, sage [[Narada]] does brahman (roaming) from here to there. Suddenly, he saw the demon Kalayavana coming towards him and said,"Who are you sage with a pony on your head?". Sage [[Narada]] replied,"O Murka Asura Kalayavan I'm Narada, the son of Lord [[Brahma]] and Mata [[Saraswati]]." Kalayavana said,"O sage tell me, do you know any goddess?", Sage Narada,"Yes!O Kalayavana!I know Devi Vaishnavivati, who is the wife of Ashvins, she is the beautiful granddaughter of [[Krishna]] and Devi [[Rukmini]]."Kalayavana said,"Where will I get this beautiful woman from?", Narada says,"She is in the Suryaloka with her husbands." Kalayavana thanks sage Narada and goes to Suryaloka. When he reaches Suryaloka, he finds [[Ashvins]] with a head like horses and their beautiful wife Devi Vaishnavivati talking to each other. When Kalayavana sees [[Ashvins]]'s wife, he says,"O beautiful maiden come to me, I'll make you my queen, don't live with these horse headed husbands." Mata Vaishnavivati and [[Ashvins]] got angry, Vaishnavivati Devi said,"O Demon!, where did you came from, and who told that we live here."Kalayavana says," O Sundari. Devrishi Narada told me about your beauty and your grandparents. " Seeing this Vaishnavivati angrily calls Narada. [[Narada]] comes and says,"Narayan!Narayan! What happened Mata Vaishnavivati?", Devi Vaishnavivati said," Narad you have done a mistake. Why did you tell Kalayavana about me and what was the reason for him to come here, answer me." Sage [[Narada]] becomes afraid and apologizes to his mother, Vaishnavivati. When Kalayavana comes closer to her (Vaishnavivati), Mata Vaishnavivati uses her Shakti and holds Kalayavana with her Shakti and she threw him to Prithviloka ([[Earth]]). | |||
