In History
She is known unnamed in History, because, in History, her information is well written in small words but they have little information about her and her husband's successor, Agnimitra.
She becomes the mother in law of Agnimitra's wives -
- Dharini
- Iravati
- Malavika
These wives used to obey their mother in law and hence Devamala was known as "Devi - Rani Devamati athva Devamala ", entitled by her husband, Pushyamitra Shunga.
