Brihaspati
Brihaspati (बृहस्पति) is a Vedic era sage who counsels the gods,[1][2] while in some medieval texts the word refers to the largest planet Jupiter.[3] He is the god of eloquence in some ancient post-Vedic Indian texts, and sometimes identified with god Agni.[4]
Devayani and the son of Brihaspati, Kacha
Devayani was the daughter of Shukracharya, who was rejected by the son of Brihaspati, Kacha. She later marries the legendary Somavanshi king Yayati.
