Vātapati

Vātapati

Vātapati is a Yādava prince, one of the famous sons of Satrājit, the keeper of the Syamantaka gem, and a brother of Satyabhāmā, the wife of Śrī Kṛshṇa.

After the account of the Syamantaka gem, the Brahma Purāṇa tells that Satrājit had ten wives and from them a hundred sons. Three were famous: the eldest Bhaṅgakāra, then Vātapati and Vasumedha. Satrājit’s three daughters, Satyabhāmā, Vratinī and Prasvāpinī, were given to Śrī Kṛshṇa.
