Asikni, in Hindu mythology, was a wife of Daksh. Daksh begot five thousand sons from her with the purpose of populating the earth. They were called Haryashvas. Narad, the sage, once told to them to go to see the end of the earth. They went, but they did not return.
Later Daksh begot another thousand sons. They became known as Shabashvas. They also followed their brothers on the advice of the sage Narad. They also never returned.
