Legend
Ahilawati or Maurvi was the daughter of Mura, the general of the demon Narakasura. The God Krishna, along with his wife Satyabhama, set forth to defeat Narakasura. First, Maurvi fought with Satyabhama. After Krishna killed Narakasura, he killed Maurvi's father, Mura. Maurvi decided to avenge her father's death. However, after realising the divinity of Krishna, she surrendered. Krishna consoled her by promising her that soon she would get married.
