Kavyamata (Sanskrit: काव्यमाता, romanized: Kāvyamātā) is a consort of the rishi Bhrigu In Hinduism.
None of the men were present at the hermitage when asuras arrived; Shukra and his father were at work.
Shukra's father, the great sage Bhrigu, was angered when he returned to his hermitage and cursed Vishnu for his sin of woman-slaughter, causing him to have several births on Earth and endure the agony of birth and death repeatedly to suffer for this act.
[2] Although woman-slaughter is considered adharma in Hinduism,[3] in the great epic Ramayana, the god Rama – an avatar of Vishnu – is convinced by his guru Vishvamitra to kill the yakshini Tataka, as it was according to dharma.
To convince his pupil, the sage narrates the story of Kavyamata, who was plotting to "appropriate herself to the dominions of Indra" and was killed by Vishnu, implying that treacherous and wicked persons could be punished as per the dharma of the king, regardless of gender.
