devana Is mentioned once in the Rigveda in connexion with dicing. The word must designate the place on which the dice are thrown (elsewhere called Adhidevana), and it is so explained by Durga in his commentary on the Nirukta.
devanakṣatra ‘Asterism of the gods,’ is the name applied in the Taittirīya Brāhmana to the first fourteen lunar mansions, which are said to be south, while the others are called Yama- naksatra, ‘asterisms of Yama/ and are said to be north. See Naksatra.
adhidevana The place where the dice were thrown is thus designated in the Atharvaveda and the Satapatha Brāhmana, according to Luders. Roth, followed by Whitney, takes it to mean ‘ gambling-board.’ See Aksa.

D. and written the treatise on grammar, of course based om Panini Sutras, which is known as जैनेन्द्र-व्याकरण or जैनेन्द्रशब्दानुशासन. The writer of this grammar is possibly mentioned as जैनेन्द्र in the usually guoted verse of Bopadeva :इन्द्रश्चन्द्रः काशकृत्स्नापिशली शाकटायनः पाणिन्यमरजैनेन्द्र जयन्त्यष्टादेिशाब्दिकाः. देवनन्दिन् was a great Jain saint and scholar who wrote many works on Jain Agamas of which सर्वार्थसिद्धि, the commentary on the तत्त्वार्थाधिगमसूत्र, is well-known.
