धर्मवती

Dharmavati

The twenty-third of the thirty-two celestial Apsaras bound to Vikramaditya's throne, who comes alive to recount the tale of the Emperor's universal compassion (Sarva-Bhuta-Hita), placing his own body before a hunter's poisoned arrow to shield a pregnant doe, transforming a starving hunter into a peaceful farmer, and decreeing the first wildlife sanctuaries.
