ḍa첹ṇa (चोडकर्�) is the name of a Brāhman from Ekalavyā, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 69. Accordingly, as the Muni Vijitāsu said to Puṣkarākṣa: �... and in conversation she [Rūpavatī] related that secret of her former birth to a Brāhman named ḍa첹ṇa, who was always engaged in muttering prayers, in order to cure him of his exclusive devotion to muttering...�.

The story of ḍa첹ṇa was narrated by Vijitāsu in order to demonstrate that “a creature receives the form of that which it was contemplating at the moment of death�.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story�), mentioning ḍa첹ṇa, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Naravāhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 󲹰 (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
