पुराणम्

English

असितकाश्यप / ASITAKĀŚYAPA (devala). For details see under jaigīṣavya and devala..

देवल १ / DEVALA I. A famous muni,  the son of pratyūṣa,  one of the aṣṭavasus. (Ādi Parva,  Chapter 66,  Verse 26). devala muni is a character in the well-known story of Gajendramokṣa. (For details see indradyumna).

देवल २ / DEVALA II. A muni,  a very erudite scholar in the Vedas. He was the elder brother of dhaumya maharṣi,  and was present at the sarpa-satra (serpent yajña) of King janamejaya. Once śrī kṛṣṇa on his way from dvārakā to hastināpura met devala. After the great war was over he visited yudhiṣṭhira.
devala had a daughter called suvarcalā. In the svayaṁvara ceremony he held for his daughter to which sons of munis were invited she chose śvetaketu as her husband. (śānti Parva,  Southern Text,  Chapter 22).
devala had two very intelligent and forebearing sons. (viṣṇu purāṇa,  Part 1,  Chapter 15).

देवल ३ / DEVALA III. A disciple of vyāsa. asita,  devala,  vaiśampāyana,  sumantu and jaimini were some of the disciples of vyāsa. (M.B. Prathama skandha).
Brahmavaivarta purāṇa contains the following story about devala. devala was the son born to Asitamuni as the result of a boon granted by śiva. Raṁbhā,  the heavenly dancer fell in love with him. But,  devala did not reciprocrate her love. So,  she cursed him to become crooked in body. When he became crooked thus he came to be called aṣṭāvakra. For six thousand years he did penance after which kṛṣṇa and rādhā appeared to him. rādhā laughed at the uncouth form of aṣṭāvakra. But,  kṛṣṇa admonished her and embraced him. At once his bodily crookedness disappeared and he became very handsome. A vimāna then descended from heaven,  and rādhā,  kṛṣṇa and muni together disappeared in it.
ekaparṇā,  daughter of himavān was this Devala's wife. (harivaṁśa,  Chapter 18).
