Historical Usage
Richika is mentioned as the name of a queen consort in the Mahabharata epic, possibly from the 4th century BCE. She is the wife of Bhishma Pitamaha, the grandsire of the Kuru dynasty. Her story is a tragic one, as she is in love with Arjuna and is unaware of the fact that her husband Bhishma has sworn a vow of celibacy to ensure that he would not be a hindrance to Arjuna's right to the throne. Bhishma is eventually slain in the Battle of Kurukshetra by Arjuna, fulfilling his vow.
4th century BCE
Another reference to Richika can be found in the 11th-century Indian literary work called the Harivamsa. In this text, Richika is described as a daughter of the sage Vyasa and the river Goddess Saraswati. She is a devotee of Lord Vishnu and plays a significant role in the story of the birth of Sri Krishna.
