In Jainism, the Uttarapurāṇa is a significant Śvetāmbara Jain text composed by Acharya Gunabhadra in the 9th century CE. It is a continuation of the Ādipurāṇa and narrates the lives of the 22nd Tirthankara Neminatha, 23rd Tirthankara Pārśvanātha, and 24th Tirthankara Mahāvīra, as well as various other important personalities in Jain tradition.

Regarding Dev Brahman (often spelled as "Dev Brāhmaṇa"), here is what is found in the Uttarapurāṇa:

• Dev Brahman is mentioned as the father of Tirthankara Mahāvīra (the 24th Tirthankara) in certain Digambara Jain traditions. In the Uttarapurāṇa, Mahāvīra's parents are referred to as Siddhārtha (father) and Trishalā (mother), but in some versions and regional traditions, Siddhārtha is also known as Devānanda or Dev Brahman.
• The Uttarapurāṇa describes a significant event where Mahāvīra's soul was initially conceived in the womb of Devānandā, the wife of R̥ṣabhadatta, a Brāhmaṇa of the Ikṣvāku clan, and later transferred to the womb of Trishalā, the queen of King Siddhārtha, by the gods (Devas). This is known as the "embryo transfer" episode.
• Devānandā (female form) and her husband, R̥ṣabhadatta, are known as Dev Brahman and his wife in the context of Mahāvīra's birth story. Thus, "Dev Brahman" is referenced as the biological (initial) father of Mahāvīra before the divine transfer to Siddhārtha and Trishalā.

Summary of Dev Brahman in Uttarapurāṇa:

• He is depicted as the Brāhmaṇa father of Devānandā, who first conceived Mahāvīra.
• The gods transferred the fetus to Trishalā, thus Siddhārtha and Trishalā become Mahāvīra's accepted parents.
• This story illustrates the spiritual significance of Mahāvīra's birth and the divine intervention associated with Tirthankaras.
