v1.c3.s18.607

Devavant is mentioned in a Dānastuti (‘Praise of Gifts’) in the Rigveda¹ as the ancestor of Sudās, apparently his grandfather; or if Pijavana be accepted as Sudās’ father, and Divodāsa as his grandfather, then his great-great-grandfather, and father of Vadhryaśva. The succession in the latter case would then be Devavant, Vadhryaśva, Divodāsa, Pijavana, Sudās.
