::''For the Kushan king, see Vasudeva I. For the book by Narendra Kohli, see Vasudeva (book).'' ::''Not to be confused with , a name of Krishna.'' In Indian epic poetry, Vasudeva (Devanagari , IAST ') is the father of Krishna, the son of Shurasena, of the Yadu and Vrishni dynasties. He was brother of King Nanda Baba 〔The Cattle and the Stick: An Ethnographic Profile of the Raut of Chhattisgarh -Page 16〕 who was foster father of Lord Krishna.〔http://books.google.co.in/books?ei=LylzU-L7IdeeugTem4HwDA&id=wT-BAAAAMAAJ&dq=abhira&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=+This+proves+that〕 His sister Kunti was married to Pandu. Kunti plays a big role later in the war Mahabharata. Vasudeva was a partial incarnation of Rishi Kashyapa. The patronymic ' (with long ''ā'') is a popular name of Krishna. According to the Harivansa Purana, Vasudeva and Nanda were brothers.〔( Lok Nath Soni, The cattle and the stick: an ethnographic profile of the Raut of Chhattisgarh. Anthropological Survey of India, Govt. of India, Ministry of Tourism and Culture, Dept. of Culture (2000). )〕 Related to this name is an early religion, sometimes called Bhagavatism that was largely formed by the 4th century BC where ''Vāsudeva'' (Krishna, the son of Vasudeva) was worshiped as the supreme Deity in a strongly monotheistic format, where the Supreme Being was perfect, eternal and full of grace. The name forms part of a famous mantra also known as a "twelve syllable mantra", which believed to be the earliest mantra from pre-reformation times, pre-dating sectarian divisions in Vaishnavism- (IAST ), it is translated as "Om, reverence to the Lord Vāsudeva (Krishna)". Vasudeva married Devaki, the sister of Kamsa, and he was also the father of Krishna's sister Subhadra. From his first wife, Rohini, who bore his eldest son, Balarama. Vasudeva and Devaki spent most of their early adult life behind bars in the deepest pits of darkness as ordered by Kansa. Vasudeva was known for his consistent approach to life and his virtue of being a truthful person, never uttering a lie during his lifetime. After Kansa was killed by Krishna, Vasudeva was installed as the Crown-Prince of Mathura under the reign of Devaki's uncle, King Ugrasena. The name is from ''vásu'' "good" and ''deva'' "deity". The Vasus are a group of eight Vedic deities. ==See also== *Heliodorus pillar 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vasudeva」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
