You are the storehouse of great gems and jewels (³¾²¹³óÄå-°ù²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹). He has no assets at all. O lord of mountains, you shall consult your kinsmen, sons, wife and wise counsellors, except PÄårvatÄ«. O lord of mountains, the medicine does not appeal at all to the patient. Wrong diet that brings about great defects always appeals to himâ€�.

Accordingly, as Pulastya said in his hermitage: â€�... there lived in the city of ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ a king named Jyotiá¹£prabha, who ruled the earth with supreme authority, as far as the sea, the mine of jewels.

The KathÄåsaritsÄågara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince NaravÄåhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the ±¹¾±»å²âÄå»å³ó²¹°ù²¹²õ (celestial beings).

Yoga (school of philosophy)

: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) is the author of the Harivijaya.—The compound amanaskayoga is found in RÄåjÄånaka ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹â€™s Haravijaya. This poet, who lived in Kashmir in the first half of the ninth century, wrote a hymn (stotra) to Åšiva which is the sixth chapter (sarga) of the Haravijaya. The hymn praises Åšiva in the terms of every soteriological system known to the poet, so it is possible that he saw the term amanaska in one of the SaiddhÄåntika sources.

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

1) ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) is one of the Bodhisattvas accompanying the Buddha at ¸éÄåÂá²¹²µá¹›h²¹ on the ³Òá¹›d³ó°ù²¹°ìūṭa±è²¹°ù±¹²¹³Ù²¹, mentioned in a list of twenty-two in to MahÄåprajñÄåpÄåramitÄåÅ›Äåstra chapter 13.—They were at the head of countless thousands of °ì´Çá¹­i²Ô²¹²â³Ü³Ù²¹ of Bodhisattva-mahÄåsattvas who were all still awaiting succession and will still accede to Buddhahood. He is also known as La na kie lo or Pai tsi.

¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ is one of the sixteen classified as a lay (²µá¹›h²¹²õ³Ù³ó²¹) Bodhisattva: ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹, a young prince (°ì³Ü³¾Äå°ù²¹), lives in VaiÅ›ÄålÄ«.

2) ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (रतà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤•à¤�) is the name of the Buddha presiding over the RatnÄåvatÄ« universe according to the 2nd century MahÄåprajñÄåpÄåramitÄåÅ›Äåstra (chapter XV).—Accordingly, “Then in the east, beyond universes as numerous as the sands of the Ganges and at the limit of these universes, there is a universe called To pao (RatnÄåvatÄ«) where there is a Buddha called Pao tse (¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹) who is now teaching the PrajñÄåpÄåramitÄå to the Bodhisattva-mahÄåsattvasâ€�.

There is a Buddha there called ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ (“jewel mineâ€�). He is so called because he includes the pure faculties, the powers (bala), the path of bodhi and the other jewels of the Dharma (dharmaratna). Question—If that is so, all the Buddhas should be called ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹. Why reserve the name ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ for this Buddha alone? Answer—All the Buddhas have these jewels, but this Buddha is the only one to take his name from them. In the same way, Mi lö (Maitreya) is called “loving-kindnessâ€� (maitreya) although all the Buddhas have the same loving-kindness (³¾²¹¾±³Ù°ùÄ«), but Maitreya is the only one to have this as his name.

One who is without happiness or unhappiness does not have any affection or hostility. One who is without affection or hostility is established in sameness. One who is established in sameness does not differentiate any dharma. One who is established in the absence of differentiation does not think about sameness or non-sameness. When you obtain this inconceivable dharma, the mÄåra cannot find your weak point’â€�.

India history and geography

: academia.edu: The Yona or Yavana Kings of the time of the Legendary King Ashoka

Pandit Ratnakara lived much later than Kalhana and probably wrote the history of Kashmir from 449 CE. The work of Ratnakara contained a list of 35 unknown kings and also 7 unknown kings who ruled over Kashmir. It is unbelievable that Kalhana was unaware of the Rajatarangini of Ratnakara (if it was written prior to Kalhana) as claimed by some historians. Ratnakara wrote the history of Kashmir after 449 CE but unfortunately no manuscript is available today.

¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹ is one of the BrÄåhmaṇa donees mentioned in the “Asankhali plates of Narasiṃha IIâ€� (1302 A.D.). When a grant was made to a large number of BrÄåhmaṇas, the chief amongst the donees seems to have been called PÄånÄ«yagrÄåhin especially. In the present record, though all the donees (e.g., ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹) are referred to as PÄåṇigrÄåhi-mahÄåjana, their list is headed by a BrÄåhmaṇa with PÄåṇigrahÄ« as his surname.

These copper plates (mentioning ¸é²¹³Ù²ÔÄå°ì²¹°ù²¹) were discovered from the house of a Santal inhabitant of Pargana Asankhali in the Mayurbhanj State (Orissa). It was made when king VÄ«ra-Narasiṃhadeva was staying at the Bhairavapura-kaá¹­aka (city, camp or residence).
