    Namaste ji,
    my knowledge about ashok sundari-
    ashok sundari is daugher of mata parvati and Lord shiva, her tale is not mention in any scripture except padma purana I think...
    She is born from kalpa vriksha (wish fullfilling tree)... Once godess parvati said mahadev that she want to go to the beautiful garden in the world then lord shiva and godess parvati arrive at nandanvan there ma parvati saw kalpavriksha and make wish to have daugher to rid of from her lonliness, the wish granted and she gets daughter, the name ashoksundari is derived from word ashok means easing shok which refers sorrow of parvati and sundari which means beautiful girl, she gets married to nahusha, nahusha kills the demon hunda there is another tale about it, once nahusha also being the king of gods in absense of Indra...
    I think I have right knowledge but if something wrong then sorry..
    Other member will give u right insight
    Thank You..!!

    Namaskar Ram Ji,

    Astrojyoti has abridged translations of 18 main puranas and 2 upapuranas which includes very important Devi Bhagvatam. Sacred texts gives english translations of some Puranas.
    http://www.astrojyoti.com/puranasindex.htm
    http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/
    Complete Bhagvata Puran is available here http://www.srimadbhagavatam.org/
    When the light has risen, there is no day, no night, neither existence nor non-existence; Siva alone is there. That is the eternal, the adorable light of Savitri, - and the ancient wisdom proceeded thence (Svetasvatara Upanishad IV-18). :)

    Re: Ashoka Sundari

    It seems as Ekam says, there is information in the Padma Purana.

    Has anyone here read the Padma Purana?
