I couldn't verify its notability. Can anyone find sources to prove he existed and was notable?

Comment -- He is said to be referred to in two ancient works, one of which deals with semi-legendary (not necessarily historical) events. The question is what then two sources say about him.

Keep and improve with familiar attention. Delete at best as my searches found nothing immediately better, restart if better available later.SwisterTwistertalk 21:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC)reply

Comment I added references to mentions in the Puranas and the Mahabharata in English. They are not extensive, but this may be a case where we want to retain and hope for more extensive references in local languages as those sources are central to much of Indian mythology. His name is transliterated in a number of ways, some of which I've added above and at the article.

Weak keep Doesn't seem like a major character in the epics but there do seem to be enough stories around him to warrant a place here. Not sure if this won't be better as part of another article.

Very weak keep There are a few english sources (especially mentioning Visala). That being said, the article does not provide a lot of information, so maybe this belongs in "draft-space" for now. --
