Vedic Index of Names and Subjects

पृष्ठभागोऽयं यन्त्रेण केनचित् काले काले मार्जयित्वा यथास्रोतः परिवर्तयिष्यते। तेन मा भूदत्र शोधनसम्भ्रमः। सज्जनैः मूलमेव शोध्यताम्।

Devavant is mentioned in a Dānastuti (‘Praise of Gifts’) in the Rigveda as the ancestor of Sudās, apparently his grandfather; or if Pijavana be accepted as Sudās' father, and Divodāsa as his grandfather, then his great-great-grandfather, and father of Vadhryaśva. The succession in the latter case would then be Devavant, Vadhryaśva, Divodāsa, Pijavana, Sudās.
