King Vatsara had a very dear wife whose name was SvarvÄ«thi, and she gave birth to six sons, named Puá¹£pÄrṇa, Tigmaketu, Iá¹£a, Ūrja, Vasu and Jaya.

Purport

Vatsara’s wife is mentioned here as iṣṭÄ, which means “worshipable.†In other words, it appears that Vatsara’s wife had all good qualities; for example, she was always very faithful and obedient and affectionate to her husband. She had all good qualities for managing household affairs. If both the husband and wife are endowed with good qualities and live peacefully, then nice children take birth, and thus the whole family is happy and prosperous.
