Baladeva

The second of the sons of Devagabbhā, the brothers known as the Andhakaveṇhuputtā.

Baladeva killed Cānura and Muṭṭhika. The latter, when dying, vowed vengeance and, having been born as a goblin in the Kāḷamattikā forest, assumed the form of a wrestler when Baladeva passed that way and killed and ate him. J.iv.81, 82, 88; PvA.11, 93.
