Śúra, the son of Devamíd́husha, was married to Márishá, and had by her ten sons. On the birth of Vasudeva, who was one of these sons, the gods, to whom the future is manifest, foresaw that the divine being would take a human form in his family, and thereupon they sounded with joy the drums of heaven: from this circumstance Vasudeva was also called Ánakadunbubhi. His brothers were Devabhága, Devaśravas, Anádhrisht́i, Karundhaka, Vatsabálaka, Śrinjaya, Śyáma, Śamíka, and Gańd́úsha; and his sisters were Prithá, Śrutadevá, Śrutakírttí, Śrutaśravas, and Rájádhideví. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 4.14.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.14.7) - [Next: 4.14.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.14.9) - [Up: 4.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.14) ## Translations (2) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.4.14.5) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English - [A Prose English Translation of Vishnupuranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-dutt.4.14.p4) — Manmatha Nath Dutt 1896, English ## Commentaries (3) - [Ātmaprakāśa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!sridhara) — Śrīdhara Svāmin, Sanskrit - [Viṣṇucittīya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!visnucitta) — Sanskrit - [Vaiṣṇavakūṭacandrikā Viṣṇupurāṇaṭīkā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu!ratnagarbha) — Ratnagarbhamiśra, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.4.14.8) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.14.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.4.14.8) · Pramāṇa
