Devagabbhā.—Daughter of Mahākamsa, king of Asitañjana. It was predicted that her son would destroy the lineage of Kamsa; she was therefore imprisoned in a room built on a single pillar. With the help of her serving woman, Nandagopā, she entered into an intrigue with Upasāgara, whom she afterwards married. They had ten sons—the notorious Andhakaveṇhudāsaputtā (q.v.)—and one daughter, Añjanā.¹
