Explanation:
Since you are seeking its counterparts in Indian languages, you should have put this query in different Indian languages. However, I can offer help in two Indian languages in this connection:

Hindi>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Devdoot/Swargatdoot/Doot

Urdu>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FarishtA

Hope it helps to some extent.

I would like to use \"Dev\" for angels in Hindi. I feel that \"Devdoot\" is a Heavenly Messenger.

neutral  Craft.Content: Ramesh, "Dev" falls in the category of "gods", "angels" are a different breed altogether :-)
6 hrs
  -> Difficult to say. If "Dev" is Gods, "Devendra" is not one but "Shivdev" is! I only said that I would like to use "dev" . I did not disagree with langclinic:-)

agree  Ritu Bhanot: And anyways you have given words in Tamil and Malyalam as opposed to Langclinic
