Anasuya (
IAST: Anusuya, "free from envy and jealousy"), also known as
Anusuya, was the wife of an ancient
Indian rishi (sage) named
Atri, in
Hindu mythology. In the
Ramayana, she appears living with her husband in a small
hermitage in the southern periphery of the forest of
Chitrakuta. She was very pious, and always practiced austerities and devotion. This allowed her to attain miraculous powers.
