[2] Nasalsa was a daughter of Atlanersa, the sister-wife of Senkamanisken, and the mother of Kings Anlamani and Aspelta as well as of Queen Madiqen.

[1][2] Anlamani's stela (Kawa VIII) has a passage describing Nasalsa being called and finding her son on the throne: Aspelta's Adoption stela refers to Nasalsa as the King's Sister, the King's Mother, Mistress of Cush, and Daughter of Re.

The inscription states that Nasalsa was the daughter of King's Sister, the Adoratrix of Amen-Re at Thebes Amenirdis.

The relationship is likely one through adoption, because the Adoratrix in Thebes was thought to be celibate.

The mention of "Daughter of Re" was the first time a Queen of Kush had used that title.
