Devahuti

देवहूति

Devahūti is the daughter of Svāyambhuva Manu and Śatarūpā, wife of the Prajāpati Kardama, and mother of the Lord Kapila. Her story in the third Skandha is a distinctive episode in the Vaiṣṇava tradition, for there the son becomes the mother's teacher: Kapila instructs her in Sāṅkhya and devotion, in what is called the Kāpila-gītā. SB 2.7.3 states the relation directly — 'He taught... His own mother' — and adds that by that teaching she washed off in this very life the mire of attachment and attained the goal of Kapila, without having to wait for another birth.
