Vasudeva
According to Hindu scripture, Vasudeva (Devanagari , IAST ), also called Ānakadundubhii ("Drum", after the sound of drums heard at the time of his birth), is the father of the Hindu deities Krishna (Vāsudeva, i.e. "son of Vasudeva"), Balarama and Subhadra. He was king of the Vrishnis (Gopas) and a Yadava prince. He was the son of the Yadava king Shurasena. He was also the brother of Nanda, the foster-father of Krishna. His sister Kunti was married to Pandu. Kunti plays a big role later in the war Mahabharata.
