Devagabbhā

Person

息子がカンサの血統を滅ぼすという予言の後、単柱の塔に幽閉されたアシタンジャナのマハーカンサ王の娘で、密かに身ごもり、後にウパサーガラと結婚して悪名高いアンダカヴェンフの十兄弟と娘アンジャナデーヴィーを産んだ。

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).
