RUDRAKETU : An asura. Two sons named Devāntaka and Narāntaka were born to this asura by his wife Śāradā. The hermit Nārada was greatly pleased at the valour of these two sons, and taught them “Pañcākṣarīmahāvi- dyā.” Devāntaka and Narāntaka, who became haughty and arrogant by their prowess were killed by Gaṇapati.
