´³±¹²¹±ô²¹²Ô²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ (जà¥à¤µà¤²à¤¨à¤¸à¤¿à¤‚à¤�) is the name of a VidyÄdhara king, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.2 [RÄvaṇa’s expedition of conquest] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triá¹£aṣṭiÅ›alÄkÄpuruá¹£acaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, as NirvÄṇasaá¹…gama said to Indra (son of SahasrÄra): “In the past there was a VidyÄdhara-chief in the beautiful Ariñjayapura, named ´³±¹²¹±ô²¹²Ô²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹. His wife was named VegavatÄ«. They had a beautiful daughter, AhilyÄ, and all the VidyÄdhara-lords came to her svayaṃvara. Ä€nandamÄlin, lord of CandrÄvartapura, came there and Taá¸itprabha, lord of SÅ«ryÄvartapura, who was you. Ignoring you, though you had come together, AhilyÄ chose Ä€nandamÄlin of her own accord and you were humiliated. From that time you were jealous of Ä€nandamÄlin, thinking, ‘He married AhilyÄ, though I was presentâ€�. [...]â€�.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
