Manava was her son who ruled between 625- 626 CE. Anyway, she is the given the name, Shobha, and later results her to Queen Shobhamati. Her story is a literature from the birth by her illegal marriage but fortunately, she accepted Shashanka but after his death, she married one of the Pallava kings, leaving her adult son, Manava.
