Viśvāyu

Viśvāyu

Viśvāyu is a son of Purūravas and the apsarā Urvaśī. The Brahma Purāṇa calls him a dharmātmā, one devoted to dharma.

Son of Purūravas

In the Brahma Purāṇa’s account of the lunar line, the sons of Aila, Purūravas, were seven, like sons of the devas and famed in the Gandharva-loka. All were born of Urvaśī: Āyu; Amāvasu, the wise; Viśvāyu, a dharmātmā; Śrutāyu; Dṛḍhāyu; Vanāyu; and Bahvāyu.
