The myth states that girls were made immune to snake poison by exposing them tolow intensity snake bites at a very young age. Many girls used to die but the oneswho had developed the immunity to venom would survive. The blood and other

body fuids o these girls would apparently be "poisoned" and sexual contact withthem would kill the person.

I we try to nd a rational explanation or this one possibility is that these girls a terhaving developed the immunity to snake!venom could have poisonous snakes aspets as their bite would not harm them#. These girls could then smuggle inpoisonous snakes with them and use them to kill o$ someone.

%hanakya is known to have "diverted" a &ish!kanya originally sent to %handraguptaMaurya by 'anda(s minister )akshasas to king *arvatak who was plotting againstMaurya. The vish!kanya poisoned and murdered *arvatak and Maurya was saved.My eeling is that vish!kanyas were skilled snake charmers and were able to handleand use poisonous snakes.&isha +anya literally ,poison maiden-# comes rom a reprehensible practice oyesteryear in which kings located girls whose horoscopes promised widowhood.

These girls were se uestered at an early age and ed many types o poisons ingradually increasing doses to make them immune to their deleterious e$ects. /ythe time they reached puberty these girls were thoroughly toxic and ready or use.

The king who had directed the process was then ready to present one o these &isha+anyas to anyone whom he wanted to kill or any man who embraced such a ladywould die a ter a very short time. 0ne legend holds that 1ristotle warned 1lexanderthe 2reat about the dangers o such ,venomous virgins-3 another suggests that1lexander died as a result o the embrace o a &isha +anya who was awarded to himas tribute by the de eated +ing *orus. %hankya started *oison girls to get rid victoryon enemies.2irls were given small amount o 4ankhiya a poison#.these girls weresent to enemy kings when they come in sexual contacts get died.These girls weretrained in all arts like dancing etc.vish!kanya in the mauryan era chandraguptamaurya and chanakya(s time %hanakya advocates the use o vishkanya to protectthe interests o the country and one should understand the circumstances in which hesaid it. 'obody can uote %hanakya and resort to such methods or his

own personal ends.

0bviously no one would want to marry a poison damsel or she would be widowedalmost as soon as her husband rst caressed her. 5ven a ter the process o,toxi ying- such girls had died away the ear o marrying women with what arerepute to be &isha +anya combinations in their charts remained alive. 1s with +u6a7osha part o the e$ect that the legend o a &isha +anya produces is likely due tocultural and psychological actors with ear o the deleterious infuence o such

astrological &isha +anyas tending to produce asel ! ul lling prophecy o marital doom. 8n ortunately in some uarters this &isha+anya designation is still used indiscriminately to brand certain women as un t ormarriage. 0ne still occasionally reads in books rom India that women having &isha+anya combinations should be avoided as marriage partners. 4ome claim that

males who are born during these combinations will destroy their amilies and theirclan and that emales will destroy their husbands.9 0n a 4aturday 4unday or Tuesday which is a 7vitiya the second tithi or day othe lunar ortnight# when the Moon occupies 1shlesha 4hatabhisha or +rittikanakshatras3
