Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaBabhrudaivāvṛdha (बभ्रुदैवावृध).—A Yādava king. The information from Purāṇas available about him is given below:
This Rājarṣi was an adept in the art of yajña. He was a disciple of Nārada and Parvata Maharṣi. (Aitareya Brāhmaṇa 7. 34).
He was a Yādava of the Vṛṣṇi dynasty and one of the seven noted ministers of the Yadu line of Kings. (Sabhā Parva, Mahābhārata).
At the time of the kidnapping of Subhadrā Babhrudaivāvṛdha was partaking in a grand festival at the mountain of Raivataka. (Chapter 211, Ādi Parva, Mahābhārata).
When once this Rājarṣi went on a visit to Kṛṣṇa, Śiśupāla carried away his wife. (Chapter 42, Sabhā Parva, Mahābhārata).
When in the end the Yādavas in Dvārakā quarrelled with each other and were destroyed, the plight of the Yādava ladies became miserable. Then Śrī Kṛṣṇa entrusted Dvāraka and Babhrudaivāvṛdha with the task of taking care of them. But in the battle of the maces he was killed with a mace thrown at him. (Chapter 5, Mausala Parva, Mahābhārata).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
