±Ê²¹»å³¾²¹°ìūṭa (पदà¥à¤®à¤•ूà¤�) is the name of an ancient VidyÄdhara king from KÄñcanÄbha, according to the KathÄsaritsÄgara, chapter 58. Accordingly, as ManorathaprabhÄ said to Somaprabha: â€�... there is here, on the table-land of the HimÄlayas, a city named KÄñcanÄbha, and in it there dwells a king of the VidyÄdharas named ±Ê²¹»å³¾²¹°ìūṭaâ€�.

The story of ±Ê²¹»å³¾²¹°ìūṭa 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 KathÄsaritsÄgara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ±Ê²¹»å³¾²¹°ìūṭa, 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.
