Daughter of Mahākamsa, king of Asitañjana. It was predicted that her son would destroy the lineage of Kamsa; she was therefore imprisoned in a room built on a single pillar. With the help of her serving woman, Nandagopā, she entered into an intrigue with Upasāgara, whom she afterwards married. They had ten sons - the notorious Andhakavenhudāsaputtā - and one daughter, Añjanā (J.iv.79ff; PvA.99ff). Updated: 15 September 2011 http://What-Buddha-Said.net/library/DPPN/d/devagabbhaa.htm |
