    In Jainism, the concept of Vasudeva refers to the group of heroic figures known as the "Nine Vasudevas" (Navavasudeva), who appear in every half-cycle of time (Avasarpini and Utsarpini). Their stories, including information about their wives, are mentioned in Jain texts like the "Trishashti Shalaka Purusha Charitra" by Hemachandra.

    Below are the names of the Vasudevas you listed, along with their wives as per Jain tradition:

    1. Tripṛṣṭa Vasudeva

    Wife: Suprabha

    1. Dvipṛṣṭa Vasudeva

    Wife: Manoramā

    1. Svayambhū Vasudeva

    Wife: Satyavatī

    1. Puruṣottama Vasudeva

    Wife: Subhadrā

    1. Puruṣasiṃha Vasudeva

    Wife: Vasumatī

    1. Puruṣapuṇḍarīka Vasudeva

    Wife: Padmāvatī

    1. Dattadeva Vasudeva

    Wife: Kalyāṇī

    1. Kṛṣṇa Vasudeva

    Wives: Rukmiṇī, Satyabhāmā, Jāmbavatī, and others (Jain texts usually mention Rukmini prominently)

    1. Nārāyaṇa Vasudeva

    - In Jain tradition, sometimes identified with Lakshmana or Neminatha’s brother. - Wife: Padminī (for Lakshmana), or other names based on the specific cycle.

    Note: The names of the wives may vary slightly depending on the Jain text and tradition (Śvetāmbara or Digambara). The above names are commonly found in Śvetāmbara canonical literature. If you need a specific reference from a particular Jain text, kindly mention it.

    Let me know if you need more detailed stories or references for any particular Vasudeva or their wives!
