Historical references
Asrita is mentioned in the Mahabharata as the name of a sage's wife. She is also called 'Asrita Devi' and is considered an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi. The story goes that King Yudhishthira, driven by his greed, asked the sage Dhaumya to perform a Yajna (Vedic ritual), which required vast quantities of ghee (clarified butter) as an offering. In order to fulfill the King's request, Asrita offered her own body to be used as ghee. Moved by her selfless act and her devotion to her husband, the gods rained ghee from the sky.
circa 400 BCE
Asrita is also mentioned in the Puranas as the name of a celestial damsel. She was one of the 27 stars (nakshatras) in the constellation of Ursa Major (Mrigasira). She is described as the wife of the star Aridhra and is believed to be an embodiment of the goddess Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge and wisdom.
