2) Devala (ą¤¦ą„ą¤µą¤²).āA muni, a very erudite scholar in the Vedas. He was the elder brother of Dhaumya maharį¹£i, and was present at the sarpa-satra (serpent yajƱa) of King Janamejaya. Once ÅrÄ« Kį¹į¹£į¹a on his way from DvÄrakÄ to HastinÄpura met Devala. After the great war was over he visited Yudhiį¹£į¹hira.
2) Devala had a daughter called Suvarca±ōÄå. In the svayaį¹vara ceremony he held for his daughter to which sons of munis were invited she chose Åvetaketu as her husband. (ÅÄnti Parva, Southern Text, Chapter 22).
2) Devala had two very intelligent and forebearing sons. (Viį¹£į¹u PurÄį¹a, Part 1, Chapter 15).
3) Devala (ą¤¦ą„ą¤µą¤²).āA disciple of VyÄsa. Asita, Devala, VaiÅampÄyana, Sumantu and Jaimini were some of the disciples of VyÄsa. (²Ń²¹³óÄå²ś³óÄå°ł²¹³Ł²¹ Prathama Skandha).
Brahmavaivarta PurÄį¹a contains the following story about Devala. Devala was the son born to Asitamuni as the result of a boon granted by Åiva. Raį¹bhÄ, 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 Aį¹£į¹Ävakra. For six thousand years he did penance after which Kį¹į¹£į¹a and RÄdhÄ appeared to him. RÄdhÄ laughed at the uncouth form of Aį¹£į¹Ävakra. But, Kį¹į¹£į¹a admonished her and embraced him. At once his bodily crookedness disappeared and he became very handsome. A vimÄna then descended from heaven, and RÄdhÄ, Kį¹į¹£į¹a and muni together disappeared in it.
Ekaparį¹Ä�, daughter of HimavÄn was this Devalaās wife. (Harivaį¹Åa, Chapter 18).

In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names1. Devala - An ascetic who once came from the region of Himava in search of vinegar and honey and took refuge for the night in a potters house. Another ascetic, Narada (the Bodhisatta), arrived later at the hut and, with the permission of Devala, stayed there. During the night, Narada, going out of the hut, trod on the locks of Devala who lay right across the doorway. He asked for pardon, and returning, passed by what he took to be Devalas feet, but Devala had turned round and Narada again trod on his hair. Devala thereupon cursed him, saying that, at sunrise, his head would split in seven pieces; but Narada stopped the sun from rising. The king enquired as to what had happened, and, on learning the story, forced Devala to ask Naradas pardon. As he did not do this of his own free will, he was taken, at Naradas suggestion, to a pond and made to stand up to his neck in water with a lump of clay on his head. As soon as the sun rose the lump of clay split in seven pieces and Devala swam away. Devala is identified with Thulla Tissa. DhA.i.32ff.
2. Devala - See Kaladevala.
3. Devala - Cousin of Padumuttara Buddha and later his aggasavaka. Padumuttaras first sermon was addressed to him and his brother Sujata. Bu.xi.24; BuA.159; Ap.i.106.
4. Devala - An ascetic in Himava. He lived before the time of Padumuttara Buddha, who was yet in Tusita, but realizing in his mind the qualities of previous Buddhas, Devala built a cetiya on the bank of a river and made offerings to it in the name of the Buddha. Later, he was born in the Brahma world. He was a previous birth of Sirimatthera (Pulinuppadaka).
ThagA.i.280; Ap.ii.426.
5. Devala - A Pacceka Buddha. When Upali was once born as Sunanda, the kings son, one day, when riding on an elephant, he saw Devala and insulted him. It was for this reason that he was born in a low caste in his last life. ThagA.i.368.
