  • Nagnajiti (Sanskrit: नाग्नजिती IAST: Nāgnajitī), also known as Satya (Sanskrit: सत्या IAST: Satyā), and Nappinnai (Tamil: நப்பின்னை, lit. 'beautifully-tressed'), is the fifth of the Ashtabharya of the Hindu god Krishna. In Vaishnavite texts, Nagnajiti is said to be an incarnation of Niladevi, the third aspect of Lakshmi. During the Dvapara Yuga, Niladevi was born on the earth as Satya, the daughter of King Nagnajit of Kosala. Krishna competed in the svayamvara arranged by Nagnajit, and as per the set rules, he brought seven ferocious bulls under control by tying a noose around each of them, thus winning Satya as his wife. In South India, when the poet-saint Andal wrote the Thiruppavai and the Nachiyar Thirumoli, she mentions Nappinai, the "beautifully tressed" daughter of King Nagnajita - the brother of Yashoda (foster-mother of Krishna). It is believed that Nappinai is the Tamil equivalent of Nagnajiti. This is attested by the fact Nappinai is also stated to be a form of Vishnu's consort, Niladevi. (en)
