	Revati (रेवती), Prosperous, is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is Indian. It is the name of HIP 5737 (ζ Psc, HR 361) in the constellation Psc. Revati is a significant figure in Hindu mythology, best known as the consort of Balarama (elder brother of Krishna) and daughter of King Kakudmi. Renowned for her immense stature, she is often considered an incarnation of the goddess Jyotsna or a form of Lakshmi (goddess of opulence). Her story famously explores themes of time dilation.
