Devi according to the Sri Lankan chronicles, was the first wife of the third Mauryan Emperor Ashoka. She was also the mother of Ashoka's children - his son, Mahendra and his daughter, Sanghamitra - both of whom played important roles in the spread of Buddhism to other countries. She is also remembered for the Sanchi Stupa.
