ñԲśṛṅ첹 (काञ्चनशृङ्गक) or Kāñcanaśṛṅga is the name of a golden city situated on the mountain named Himavat, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 35. Accordingly, “on it [Himavat] there is a golden city called Kāñcanaśṛṅga [ñԲśṛṅ첹], which gleams refulgent with brightness, like the palace of the Sun. It extends many yojanas, and in it there lives a king of the Vidyādharas named Hemaprabha, who is a firm votary of the husband of Umā�.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story�), mentioning ñԲśṛṅ첹, 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.
