The Naga princess who married Kusha.
Accounts of this vary across texts and traditions. This entry primarily follows Puranic tradition, with other tellings (Valmiki Ramayana (Bala Kanda genealogy), Kalidasa's Raghuvamsha) noted where relevant.
Kumudvati is a Naga princess, the sister of the Naga king Kumuda, and the wife of Kusha, the son of Rama.
In the Raghuvamsha, Kusha was crossing the Sarayu when he lost his bracelet, a gift from Rama, in the river. The Naga king Kumuda returned it, and gave his sister Kumudvati to Kusha in marriage. Their son was Atithi.
