मालवी / MĀLAVĪ. The queen of aśvapati king of madra. She was the mother of sāvitrī. aśvapati begot of mālavī a hundred sons called mālavas.
yama took to Kālapurī the soul of satyavān who was shortlived. sāvitrī, wife of satyavān, followed yama. yama blessed sāvitrī and said she would have many children and gave life to satyavān again. yama said “Satyavān will live for four hundred years and you will get a hundred sons of him. Your father aśvapati also will get a hundred sons of mālavī and the earth will get the name of sāvitrī also”. Accordingly mālavī got a hundred sons and they were called mālavas.
