Devsharma

Devsharma was a Rishi in Hindu mythology. He was the husband of a very beautiful wife named Ruchi. Once, he wanted to perform a sacrifice which needed his wife to be left under protection of his disciple Vipul who was supposed to protect her from Indra's advances. Vipul left his body, and entered into Ruchi's body placing limb upon limb and face upon face, and protected her from Indra's advances. After that Vipul left the body of Ruchi and entered into his own. On his return, Devsharma granted Vipul a boon that he would always be righteous. Vipul realising later that his preceptor knew how he protected his wife, he begged Devsharma's pardon.
