Yasomati

Yasomati (died 604 or 605 or 606 CE) was an ancient Indian queen [1] as the chief wife of King Prabhakaravardhana of Thanesar.

According to a theory, Yasomati was a daughter of King Yashodharman of Malwa and a sister of King Shiladitya of Malwa.

This is sometimes considered sati, although sati is a term usually used for the widows who died by self-immolation, whilst Yasomati killed herself before her husbandʻs death.

Poet Bāṇabhaṭṭa mentioned in Harshacharita that Yasomati distributed her jewellery to the other members of the royal court shortly before she killed herself.

[7] Bhandi, a nephew of Yasomati, was a companion of Harsha.
