Accordingly, as ManorathaprabhÄ said to Somaprabha: â€�... there is a king of the VidyÄdharas, named Siṃhavikrama, and he has a matchless daughter named ²Ñ²¹°ì²¹°ù²¹²Ô»å¾±°ìÄå; she is a friend of mine, dear as my life, who sympathises with my grief, and she to-day sent her attendant to learn tidings of meâ€�.
The story of ²Ñ²¹°ì²¹°ù²¹²Ô»å¾±°ìÄå was narrated by Gomukha to NaravÄhanadatta in order to demonstrate that “the appointed union of human beings certainly takes place in this world, though vast spaces interveneâ€�.

The work is said to have been an adaptation of GuṇÄá¸hya’s Bá¹›hatkathÄ consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
