Source: Wisdom Library: The Vet膩lapa帽cavi峁兣沘ti痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 (啶掂ぞ啶膏さ啶︵い啷嵿い啶�) is the name of one of the four wifes of Nidhipatidatta, a wealthy merchant and owner of caravans, from the city Pu峁ar膩vat墨, according to the twenty-first story in the Vet膩lapa帽cavi峁兣沘ti, a Sanskrit work relating the 鈥榯wenty-five stories of a 惫别迟腻濒补鈥�. These stories revolve around the Indian King Vikram膩ditya whose kingdom is threatened by the machinations of a necromancer.
Source: Wisdom Library: Kath膩sarits膩gara痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 (啶掂ぞ啶膏さ啶︵い啷嵿い啶�) is the daughter of king Ca峁囜笉amah膩sena and his wife A峁単膩ravat墨, according to the Kath膩sarits膩gara, chapter 11. 痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 had two brothers named P膩laka and Gop膩laka. Ca峁囜笉amah膩sena was previously known by the name Mah膩sena and was the son of Jayasena, son of Mahendravarman (king of Ujjayin墨). A峁単膩ravat墨 was the daughter of A峁単膩raka, who broke the chariot of Ca峁囜笉amah膩sena in the form of a fierce boar and fled into a cavern, but was later slain by Ca峁囜笉amah膩sena.
The Kath膩sarits膩gara (鈥榦cean of streams of story鈥�), mentioning 痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Narav膩hanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Gu峁嚹佱笉hya鈥檚 B峁沨atkath膩 consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
: archive.org: Vasavadatta, a Sanskrit romance by Subandhu痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 (啶掂ぞ啶膏さ啶︵い啷嵿い啶�).鈥擳he title of the 痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 of Subandhu, the oldest romantic novel in India, seems to be derived from that of a long lost drama by Bh膩sa, the Svapna惫腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 or 鈥淒ream-痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟补鈥�. It may be conjectured,came, at least in literary form, the entire story of 痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 and Udayana, or Vatsar膩ja, as given in the Ratn膩vall墨 Priyadar艣ik膩, and T膩pasavatsar膩ja, the ultimate source probably-being the lost B峁沨atkath膩. With the 痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 of these latter works Subandhu鈥檚 heroine has only her name in common, nor is any other story concerning her known to exist in Sanskrit literature
The 痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 was written by Subandhu at a place unknown, probably between 550 and somewhat after 606 A.D., the terminus a quo being the circumstance that Uddyotakara cannot have flourished until at least the middle of the sixth century, and the terminus ad quem by the date of composition of the Har峁carita, early in the seventh century.
Kavya (啶曕ぞ啶掂啶�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or 鈥榚pic poetry鈥� and natya, or 鈥榙ramatic poetry鈥�.

The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.

1) Name of a work by Subandhu.
2) Name of a heroine of several stories. [Different writers give different accounts of this lady. According to Kath膩sarits膩gara she was the daughter of king Cha峁囜笉amah膩sena of Ujjayin墨 and was carried off by Udayana, king of Vatsa. 艢r墨har峁 represents her to be the daughter of king Pradyota (see Ratn膩val墨 1.1.), and, according to Mallin膩tha's comment on the line 啶啶班う啷嵿く啷嬥い啶膏啶� 啶啶班た啶う啷佮す啶苦い啶班 啶掂い啷嵿じ啶班ぞ啶溹啶洁い啷嵿ぐ 啶溹す啷嵿ぐ啷� (pradyotasya priyaduhitara峁� vatsar膩jo'tra jahre) she was the daughter of Pradyota, king of Ujjayin墨. Bhavabh奴ti says that she was betrothed by her father to king Sa帽jaya, but that she offered herself to Udayana; (see M膩lat墨m膩dhava (Bombay) 2.). But the 痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 of Subandhu has nothing in common with the story of Vatsa, except the name of the heroine, as she is represented to have been betrothed by her father to Pu峁aketu, but carried off by Kandarpaketu. It is probable that there were several heroines bearing the name 痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻.]
痴腻蝉补惫补诲补迟迟腻 is a Sanskrit compound consisting of the terms 惫腻蝉补惫补 and 诲补迟迟腻 (啶︵い啷嵿い啶�).

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.

The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
