Visha Kanya
The ''Vish Kanya'' (Sanskrit ; singular: Visha Kanya) ((英語:Poison girl)) were young women reportedly used as assassins, often against powerful enemies, during the Mauryan Empire (467–185 BC). Their blood was purportedly good to other humans, and was mentioned in the ancient Indian treatise on statecraft, ''Arthashastra'', written by Chanakya (Kautilya), an adviser and a prime minister to the first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta (c. 340–293 BC).
==In literature==
A Hindu mythology text, the ''Kalki Purana'', mentions that they can kill a person just by looking at them, and talks about a Vish Kanya named Sulochana, the wife of a Gandharva, Chitragreeva.
However, in time, "poison damsel" passed into folklore, became an archetype explored by many writers, resulting in a popular literary character that appears in many works, including classical Sanskrit texts such as ''Sukasaptati''.〔''Erotic Indian tales from the Sanskrit classic Suksaptati'', by G.L. Mathur. Hind Pocket Books, 1971. ''Page 26–27''〕
