Dohana (दोहन) is the name of a great warrior (ٳ) who fought on Śrutaśarman’s side in the war against Sūryaprabha, according to the Kathsaritsgara, chapter 48. Accordingly: �... while Indra was saying this [to sage Nrada], fourteen great warriors came to assist the general Dmodara: [Dohana and others]. And those fifteen heroes, joined with Dmodara, fighting in front of the line, kept off the followers of Sūryaprabha�.

The story of Dohana was narrated by the Vidydhara king Vajraprabha to prince Naravhanadatta in order to relate how “Sūryaprabha, being a man, obtain of old time the sovereignty over the Vidydharas�.

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