KĪRTI I. Daughter of Śuka Brahmarṣi, son of Vyāsa. Śuka wedded Pivarī, the beautiful daughter of the Pitṛs. Four sons named Kṛṣṇa, Gauraprabha, Bhūri and Devaśruta and a daughter Kīrti were born to Śuka and Pivarī. Kīrti was wedded by Prince Aṇu, son of King Vibhrama, and a son called Brahmadatta was born to them, who grew up to become a great scholar and an ascetic. On the advice of Nārada, King Brahmadatta ultimately abdicated the throne in favour of his son, performed penance at Badaryāśrama and attained salvation. (Devī Bhāgavata, 1st Skandha).
