Tishyaraksha

Tishyarakshita (Pali: Tissarakkhā, Sanskrit: Tiṣyarakṣitā) was the last queen consort of Emperor Ashoka of the Maurya Empire in the 3rd century BCE. She is primarily known from Buddhist chronicles for her treacherous role in the Mauryan court, including her alleged involvement in the blinding of Kunala, Ashoka's heir, and the destruction of the original Bodhi Tree.
