Asandhimitra
Asandhimitra (d. 240 BCE) was the chief consort (''agramahisi'') of the third Mauryan emperor Ashoka the Great, for the majority of his reign. Asandhimitra apparently bore her husband no children,〔 and died without issue. She is greatly spoken of in the Great Chronicle or the ''Mahavamsa''.
==Life==
Asandhimitra is the princess of a little kingdom Assandhivat in what is now East Haryana north of Delhi (India).Since Asandhimitra belonged to a royal family, she was considered to be a suitable wife for Prince Ashoka.
Therefore, upon Ashoka's accession to the throne in 270 BCE, she was given the honourable title of ''agramahisi'' and thus became his Chief Queen. Asandhimitra held the position of being Ashoka's chief consort for thirty years, from his accession in 270 BCE till her own death in 240 BCE.
Asandhimitra was a faithful believer in the Sambuddha. She is said to have been a trusted advisor and a faithful companion to her husband and is often referred to as his "beloved" or his "dear" consort.〔 This is evidenced by the fact that Ashoka was deeply grieved at her death. It appears that Asandhimitra bore Ashoka no children and died without issue. Four years after her death, when Ashoka was old, he married a dissolute young woman named Tishyaraksha (who is sometimes referred to as having been Asandhimitra's attendant) and raised her to the rank of Chief Queen in 236 BC.
