पुराणम्
English
वामदेव / VĀMADEVA. An ancient hermit.1) vāmadeva and śala. three sons named śala, dala and bala were born to King parīkṣit by his wife suśobhanā, a princess of maṇḍūka. In due course, King parīkṣit anointed his eldest son śala as King and went to the forest for penance.
Once śala went to the forest to hunt. While chasing a deer, the King asked his charioteer to bring horses capable of overtaking the deer. The charioteer told the King that such horses were available at the hermitage of vāmadeva. They went to the hermitage of vāmadeva and got the horses on condition that they would be returned.
After the hunting, śala reached his capital. Seeing the beauty and the vigorous nature of the horses, the King did not like to part with them. vāmadeva sent his disciple to the court of the King to take the horses back. But the King sent him back empty-handed. vāmadeva got angry. He came in person and demanded his horses. The King replied that Brahmins did not require such horses. While these two were quarrelling with each other, some fierce giants came there and pierced śala with a trident and killed him. (M.B. Vana Parva, Chapter 192).2) Other information. (i) He was a friend of vasiṣṭha and a priest of daśaratha. (vālmīki rāmāyaṇa, Bālakāṇḍa. sarga 7, Stanza 3).(ii) Maṇḍala 4 of ṛgveda was composed by vāmadeva.(iii) vāmadeva was a hermit who had praised the aśvinīdevas when he was in his mother's womb. (ṛgveda, Maṇḍala 1, Sūkta 119).(iv) Once vāmadeva tried to eat the flesh of a dog because of hunger, with a view to save Brahmins. (manusmṛti, Chapter 10, Stanza 106).(v) He was a prominent member in the assembly of indra. (M.B. Sabhā Parva, Chapter 7, Stanza 17).(vi) Once vāmadeva gave advice about righteousness to King vasumanas. (M.B. śānti Parva, Chapter 92).
वामदेव २ / VĀMADEVA II. A King. arjuna defeated this King during his regional conquest of the North. (M.B. Sabhā Parva, Chapter 27, Stanza 11).
वामदेव ३ / VĀMADEVA III. One of the seven sons born to manu by his wife śatarūpā. It is stated in matsya purāṇa, Chapter 4, that the Brahmin was born from the face, kṣatriya from the hand, vaiśya from the calf of the leg and śūdra from the foot, of vāmadeva, who was an incarnation of śiva. This vāmadeva who had five faces and a trident in his hand, fought with candra, when tārā the wife of bṛhaspati was carried away by candra. (matsya purāṇa, 4-13).
Vedic Reference
English
Vāma-deva is credited^1 by tradition with the authorship of
the fourth Maṇḍala of the Rigveda, and he is once mentioned
in that Maṇḍala.^2 He is, moreover, credited with the
authorship of the fourth hymn of the Maṇḍala by the Yajur-
veda Saṃhitās.^3 He there appears as a son of Gotama, while
in one hymn of the fourth Maṇḍala of the Rigveda^4 Gotama
is mentioned as the father of the singer, and in another^5 the
Gotamas occur as praising Indra. In the Bṛhaddevatā^6 two
absurd legends are narrated of Vāmadeva. One describes
Indra as revealing himself in the form of an eagle to the seer
as he cooked the entrails of a dog
the other tells of his
successful conflict with Indra, whom he sold among the
seers. Sieg^7 has endeavoured to trace these tales in the
Rigveda, ^8 but without any success. Moreover, though Vāmadeva
is mentioned in the Atharvaveda^9 and often in the Brāh-
maṇas, ^10 he never figures there as a hero of these legends.
