Is Ahilawati another name for Maurvi? I've placed Maurvi as the wife of Ghatotkacha and the mother of Barbarika. Imc 16:04, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Maurvi was the name of Ahilawati before marriage as she was nag kanya. Later she was recognised as Ahilawati. To know more about concern Khatushyamji.

Clarification[edit]

I'm just leaving this out here for the future reference of readers and editors: Ahilawati is not a character who is featured in the original Mahabharata as this article previously suggested; she, along with her son Barbarika, appear in western Indian folklore, and they were likely assimilated in retellings of the epic in the region and identified with Ghatotkacha, who is a bona fide Mahabharata character.
