1) Savana (सवà¤�).â€�General. Son of Priyavrata who was the son of SvÄåyambhuva Manu, by his wife, SurÅ«pÄå. SurÅ«pÄå had ten sons including Savana. (DevÄ« BhÄågavata, Skandha 8). Birth of son. Savana married SuvedÄå, daughter of SunÄåbha; but he expired before children were born to him. According to the VÄåmana PurÄåṇa, Chapter 72, seven children were born from the dead Savana. The story about it is as follows:â€�

SuvedÄå, heart-broken at the death of Savana, did not permit the dead body to be burnt, herself holding it in embrace. Then a celestial voice said to her: "Cry not. If you are really chaste and true, enter the funeral pyre along with your husband." To this SuvedÄå answered thus: "I cry because of grief that he died before making me the mother of a son." The celestial voice said to her again: "You enter the pyre without weeping. Your husband will have seven sons."

SudevÄå now permitted her dead husband to be cremated and meditating upon her chastity she jumped into the funeral pyre. But within minutes Savana came alive out of the fire with his wife and rose to the sky with her. He stayed in the sky for another five days and on the sixth day had the sexual act again with her. His semen dropped on earth from the sky. The King then with his wife went to Brahmaloka.

SamÄådÄå, Nali²ÔÄ«, Puá¹£yati, CitrÄå, ViÅ›ÄålÄå, HaritÄå and Ali²ÔÄ«lÄå, all of them wives of munis saw the semen in the sky and when it fell into the water they thought it was amá¹›ta, which conferred eternal youth, and with the permission of their husbands swallowed it. As soon as they swallowed it their divine effulgence was diminished and their husbands, therefore, abandoned them. Those women delivered seven children, who cried fiercely and that sound filled the entire universe. Then BrahmÄå appeared and asked the children not to cry and also told them that they would come to be called Maruts. BrahmÄå himself called them Maruts. They were the Maruts of the first SvÄåyambhuva Manuvantara. (See full article at Story of Savana from the Puranic encyclopaedia by Vettam Mani)

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
