Said by Smṛticandrikā to have composed a digest of smṛtis – Nārāyaṇa, commentator of Āśvalāyanagṛhya, relies on bhāṣya of Devasvāmin – he composed a digest on ācāra, vyavahāra and āśauca – Smṛticandrikā quotes his views on the meaning of Yautaka, on the meaning of duhitaraḥ in Yāj., on Manu 9. 141 – A Devasvāmin commented on Pūrvamīmāṁsāsūtras and on the Saṁkarṣakāṇḍa – difficult to say whether he is identical with the writer on dharmaśāstra – Devasvāmin flourished about 1000-1050 A.
