Vasudeva-hindi (IAST: Vasudevahiṇḍī, "Vasudeva's wanderings") is a Jain text by Sangha-dasa, probably from 5th century India. The text narrates several stories in the form of nested narrative layers. The main story is borrowed from Gunadhya's Brihat-katha, with the original hero Nara-vahana-datta replaced by Krishna's father Vasudeva.
