It is stated in Harivaṃśa Chapter 18, that three daughters, Aparṇā, Ekaparṇā and Ekapāṭalā were born to Himālaya by Menā and the hermit Devala married Ekaparṇā and the hermit Jaigiṣavya married Ekapāṭalā. In Mahābhārata, Śānti Parva, Chapter 229, mention is made that this hermit gave much advice to the hermit Devala, son of Asita, about the need for equanimity. On another occasion this hermit talked to Yudhiṣṭhira about the glory of Śiva. (M.B. Anuśāsana Parva, Chapter 18, Stanza 37).
