Sanskrit कलहा
एका स्त्री ।
"कलहायाः उल्लेखः कोषे अस्ति"
पुराणम्
Englishकलहा / KALAHĀ. Wife of a brāhmaṇa named Bhikṣu who was an inhabitant of the city of Saurāṣṭra. This woman used to do only just the opposite of what her husband asked her to do and so Bhikṣu kept it a rule to ask her to do the opposite of what he wanted her to do. But one day he asked her to float the śrāddha piṇḍa in the river gaṅgā, and she threw it in Śaucyakūpa. As a result of that she was born in a demoniac womb. But dharmadatta got her purified by the Dvādaśākṣarī mantra and giving her half the virtue accrued by him. By virtue of this they were reborn as daśaratha and kausalyā. (ānanda rāmāyaṇa, Sārakāṇḍa
Uttarakhaṇḍa, padma purāṇa). See also under dharmadatta.
