DEVARĀTA III. A house-holder whose daughter Kalā was married by Śoṇa. Kalā was killed by Mārīca. Devarāta and Śoṇa along with Viśvāmitra went to Śivaloka in search of Kalā. As Kalā had, at the time of her death, uttered the word 'Hara' (Śiva) she had gone to Mount Kailāsa and was spending her days in the service of Pārvatī who, after making Kalā and Śoṇa participate in Somavāravrata sent them back to earth. (Padma Purāṇa, Pātāla Khaṇḍa, Chapter 112).
