VADHRIMATĪ : A princess, praised in Ṛgveda. This beautiful princess got a hermaphrodite as her husband. She shed a good deal of tears and prayed to the Aśvins (Charioteers of Indra, celebrated as Gods of light and helpers) in consequence of which she got a son named Hiraṇyahasta. (Ṛgveda, Maṇḍala 1, Śūkta 116).

Vadhrimatī, ‘having an impotent man as a husband,’ seems in the Rigveda to be the name of a woman who owed the restoration of her husband's virility to the Aśvins, and obtained a son, Hiraṇyahasta. The word is, however, possibly only descriptive.
