Kaurvaki was the "Second Queen Consort"[1] of the third Mauryan Emperor, Ashoka The Great.

She was the mother of Ashoka's fourth son, Prince Tivala.

Kaurvaki is mentioned in the Queen Edict wherein her religious and charitable donations were recorded as per her wishes.

This gives an image of her being a self-possessed and strong-willed consort, who wanted an act of philanthropy recorded as specifically hers.

[2][3] The edict also identifies her as mother to their son, Prince Tivala (also referred to as Tivara), who is the only son of Ashoka mentioned by name in his inscriptions.
