Historical references
The Mahabharata mentions a queen named Nrupa, who was the mother of Bhishma Pitamaha. She was the daughter of King Vibhatsu of Haihayas and was married to King Shantanu of Hastinapura. After Shantanu's first wife, Satyavati, bore him a son, Vyas, she was neglected. Nrupa intervened and demanded that her son be made the heir apparent. Shantanu agreed and Nrupa's son, Bhishma, was brought up as the foster brother of Vyas' son, Dhritarashtra, who later became the king.
circa 3000 BCE - 2000 BCE
Another reference to Nrupa is found in the Puranas, where she is mentioned as the mother of various deities, including the god of love, Kama. Nrupa is also described as a beautiful Apsara (celestial nymph), who performed a dance to please Lord Shiva and Indra. The dance was so enchanting that it is said to have led to the creation of the Himalayas.
