MITRAVĀN II. An ascetic who lived in the city of Saupura. He acquired complete peace of mind by reading the second Chapter of the Gītā sitting in a Śiva temple. Once a brahmin of name Devaśarmā approached a sage named Muktakarmā seeking advice to obtain peace of mind. The latter directed Devaśarmā to Mitravān and Mitravān advised him to read the second Chapter of the Gītā. (Padma Purāṇa, Uttara Khaṇḍa, 176).
