A brahmin who believed in yajñas. He once received without due regard and with indifference the tīrtha water given to him by a devotee of Kṛṣṇa after worship of the Lord, as a result of which, in the next birth, he was born as a bamboo stem. And, as he did, consciously or otherwise some good deeds Śrī Kṛṣṇa made a flute out of that bamboo stem, and Devavrata thus attained redemption. (Padma Purāṇa, Pātāla Khaṇḍa, Chapter 73). - [Previous: c5.449](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.449) - [Next: c5.451](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.451) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5) ## Cites (1) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma.5.73) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.450](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c5.450) · Pramāṇa
