Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia1) Sinīvālī (सिनीवाली).—Birth. A daughter of Aṅgiras. The wife of Aṅgiras was Smṛti. She gave birth to four daughters named Kuhū, Rākā, Anumati and Sinīvālī. (Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Aṃśa 1, Chapter 10).
(It is mentioned in Bhāgavata, Skandha 6, that Sinīvālī was the third daughter of Aṅgiras by his wife Śraddhā. Other details.
(i) Dṛśyādṛśyā is another name of Sinīvālī. Her body is small. So sometimes she can be seen and sometimes she cannot be seen. It is in this meaning that she gets the name Dṛśyādṛśyā (seen and unseen). Śiva bears her in his forehead. So she has another name Rudrasutā. (Mahābhārata Vana Parva, Chapter 218, Verse 5).
(ii) Śiva used Sinīvālī as the yoke of the horses of his chariot in the battle with Tripuras. (Mahābhārata Karṇa Parva, Chapter 34, Verse 32).
(iii) At the time of his birth Sinīvālī had come to see the child Subrahmaṇya. (Mahābhārata Śalya Parva, Chapter 45, Verse 13).
(iv) It is mentioned in Atharva Veda that Sinīvālī is a wife of Mahāviṣṇu. (See full article at Story of Sinīvālī from the Puranic encyclopaedia by Vettam Mani)
