India history and geography

: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri鈥檚 Kuvalayamala-katha (history)

Narendra (啶ㄠぐ啷囙え啷嵿う啷嵿ぐ) refers to a 鈥渕aster of charms or antidotes鈥� and is used as a synonym for 顿丑腻迟耻惫腻诲颈苍蝉, or 鈥渢hose involved in the art of making artificial gold鈥� (顿丑腻迟耻惫腻诲补), representing one of Siddhis (powers) practiced in ancient India, as mentioned in the Kath膩s (narrative poems) such as Uddyotanas奴ri in his 8th-century Kuvalayam膩l膩 (a Prakrit Camp奴, similar to K膩vya poetry).鈥擯age 191.28-32: We get some details about 顿丑腻迟耻惫腻诲补 (p. 195), i.e., the art of making artificial gold, being practised in a secluded part of the Vindhya forest. [...] It is said that the assembled 顿丑腻迟耻惫腻诲颈苍蝉 or alchemists were failing in their attempt. Prince Kuvalayacandra tried his own knowledge and succeeded in the making of gold. It appears that one of the epithets of the 顿丑腻迟耻惫腻诲颈苍蝉 was Narendra, meaning a master of charms or antidotes. The word is also used in this sense in classical Sanskrit literature. 顿丑腻迟耻惫腻诲补 is also called Narendrakal膩 (峁哸谤颈峁僤补kal膩, 197.16).
