Devagabbhā
PersonFille du roi Mahākaṃsa d Asitañjana, emprisonnée dans une tour à colonne unique après une prophétie selon laquelle son fils détruirait la lignée de Kaṃsa, tomba secrètement enceinte et épousa plus tard Upasāgara, donnant naissance aux dix frères tristement célèbres Andhakaveṇhu et à une fille, Añjanadevī.
Daughter of Mahākaṃsa, king of Asitañjana. It was predicted that her son would destroy the lineage of Kaṃsa; she was therefore imprisoned in a room built on a single pillar. With the help of her serving woman, Nandagopā, she entered into an intrigue with Upasāgara, whom she afterwards married.
They had ten sons — the notorious Andhakaveṇhudāsaputtā — and one daughter, Añjanadevi (J.iv.79 ff; PvA.99 ff).
