Historical Usage
Devdan was a famous warrior and commander in the army of the Hindu king Harshavardhana (600-647 CE), who ruled from his capital at Thanesar (modern day Hisar), in present-day Haryana, India. Devdan is believed to have played a crucial role in several military campaigns of Harshavardhana.
600-647 CE
Another account of Devdan mentions him as a renowned Jain monk during the Gupta Empire (320-550 CE), who was well-versed in various scriptures and became a spiritual guide to many kings and queens. The reference to Devdan as a warrior in the earlier account might suggest that he might have led a dual life as a monk and a warrior.
