She was a noble woman and got great attachment on her son Vasudeva. The parents were performed Upanayana to Vasudeva at his younger age itself, and he had become a great saint at his teenage.
Sri Vasudeva was an avatar of Lord Vayu Deva and after he attained sainthood, his parents gave birth to another son Subhaktiman, who was known as Vishnu Tirtha at a later stage, and they also gave birth to a daughter. Sri Vishnu Tirtha also became a saint after his parent’s death.
