Ancient India, around 5th century BCE and continuing to present day
The Mahabharata, one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, mentions a princess named Maheshwari. She was the youngest daughter of King Vibhatsu, ruler of Hastinapura. After her husband, King Janamejaya, died, she performed the sacred horse sacrifice (Ashvamedha Yajna) to ensure the prosperity of the kingdom. During the ritual, she was approached by the sage Vyasa, who asked her to be the mother of his son, the great sage Vyashtithi. Maheshwari agreed and thus became the ancestor of King Bhishma, the grandsire of the Pandava and Kaurava princes in the Mahabharata narrative.
