²Ñ²¹á¹‡á¸²¹±è²¹°ìá¹£e³Ù°ù²¹ (मणà¥à¤¡à¤ªà¤•à¥à¤·à¥‡à¤¤à¥à¤°) is the name of a sacred field located at KÄÅ›mÄ«ra (Kashmir), according to the KathÄsaritsÄgara, chapter 39. Accordingly, as king VÄ«rabhuja said to Suraká¹£ita: “do not attempt to brazen it out, but go to Kashmir [KÄÅ›mÄ«ra] to wash away your [Suraká¹£ita’s] sin (where are those holy fields, Vijaya°ìá¹£e³Ù°ù²¹, and Nandi°ìá¹£e³Ù°ù²¹ the purifying, and the °ìá¹£e³Ù°ù²¹ of the boar), the land which was hallowed by Viṣṇu, the bow-handed god, where the stream of the Ganges bears the name of VitastÄ, where is the famous ²Ñ²¹á¹‡á¸²¹±è²¹°ìá¹£e³Ù°ù²¹, and where is UttaramÄnasa; when your sin has been washed away by a pilgrimage to these holy places you shall behold my [king VÄ«rabhuja] face againâ€�.

The KathÄsaritsÄgara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ²Ñ²¹á¹‡á¸²¹±è²¹°ìá¹£e³Ù°ù²¹, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince NaravÄhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the ±¹¾±»å²âÄå»å³ó²¹°ù²¹²õ (celestial beings). 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.
