Damayanti (Sanskrit: दमयन्ती, romanized: Damayantī) is a figure in a love story found in the Vana Parva book of the Mahabharata.[1] She is the daughter of Bhima (not the Pandava) and a princess of the Vidarbha Kingdom, who marries King Nala of the Nishadha kingdom. The figure is also found in other Hindu texts by many authors in numerous Indian languages.[2] She, along with Nala, are the central figures in the 12th century text Nishadha Charita, one of the five mahakavyas (great epic poems) in the canon of Sanskrit literature,[3][4]: 136 written by Sriharsha.
