Dharmabhakta

Dharmabhakta · dharma-bhakta, “the one devoted to dharma”

The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa tells that the second Vasu, Bhagavān Varuṇa, produced a tejas from his own mouth on the earth, and that it was born in Dehalī in the house of Dharmabhakta. His widowed daughter held that tejas of Hari. Knowing this, Dharmabhakta was very glad at the arising of a son. The son was Nāmadeva, devoted to Sāṅkhya Yoga. Sūta tells this to a muni.
