**Devahita.**—A brahmin of **Sāvatthi.** Once when the Buddha was ill with cramp and desired hot water Upavāna obtained from Devahita hot water and molasses, which he sent on a pingo by a serving man.

Devahita came later to the Buddha, and after some conversation he was converted.¹ Devahita was said to be a friend of Upavāna.²
