Rani Kaurwaki was a daughter of a fisherman who stayed in Kalinga (present day Orissa). According to the legends, Ashoka met Karuvaki and fell in love with her when he was living life in exile and had gone incognito.
Yes, when Ashoka could easily curb Ujjaini’s revolt just by his presence, he was praised and applauded for his bravery and skills. Rajkumar Sushim couldn’t bear all this and so he planned to defame Ashoka in front of his father’s eyes. He was successful in his approach and that is why Ashoka was compelled to go away from Magadh. He came to Kalinga where he fell in love with Kaurwaki and even married her.
Kaurwaki became the mother of Ashoka’s second son Tivala or Tivara who later became the viceroy of Takshila. Both the name of Kaurwaki and Tivala are found in Samrat Ashoka’s edicts..!
