EspañolVASUDEVA
::''For the Kushan king, see Vasudeva I''
'Vasudeva' (Sanskrit: वसुदेव) in Hinduism was the son of Śũrasena, of the Yadava dynasty. His sister Kunti was married to Pandu.
He married Devaki, the sister of Kamsa, and he was the father of Krishna and his sister Subhadra by her. He also took a second wife, Rohini, who bore his eldest son, Balarama. According to some accounts he also had several other children by other wives.
Vasudeva and Devaki spent most of their early adult life behind bars in the deepest pits of darkness as ordered by Kamsa. 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 Kamsa was killed by Krishna, Vasudeva was installed as the Crown-Prince of Mathura under the reign of Devaki's uncle, King Ugrasena.
The name 'Vāsudeva', when used to mean ''a descendant of Vasudeva'', is another name for Krishna.
