Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia痴颈办谤补尘腻诲颈迟测补 (啶掂た啶曕啶班ぎ啶距う啶苦い啷嵿く).鈥敵站卑彀钩灸寤寰背俨獠�, who is believed to be one of the mighty emperors of Bh膩rata, was an extraordinarily wise, righteous and valiant ruler. There are several stories in all the languages of India, prevalent everywhere. They are generally called 痴颈办谤补尘腻诲颈迟测补 stories. 痴颈办谤补尘腻诲颈迟测补 was the son of Mahendr腻诲颈迟测补, King of Ujjayin墨. Mahendr腻诲颈迟测补 and his wife Saumyadar艣an膩 were in great distress as they were childless. Sumati, the Prime Minister, Vajr膩yudha, the army commander, and Mah墨dhara, the priest, were as distressed as the royal couple. The King and the queen engaged themselves in fast and prayer.
In the meanwhile, the Devas found life extremely difficult due to the wicked deeds of the barbarians, and they went to Kail膩sa and told Rudradeva of their grievances. They said, "Oh! Lord! All the asuras exterminated by yourself and Mah膩vi峁ａ箛u, are born on the earth as Barbarians. They commit great sins such as killing the Brahmins, obstructing sacrifices carrying away hermit damsels etc. The sacrificial offerings in the sacred fire with Vedic Mantras by Brahmins, is the food of Devas. Because of the troubles caused by the Barbarians in the earth, the sacrifices are hindered and the Devas are in trouble due to lack of food. So a being, mighty and strong enough to exterminate all the Barbarians on the earth, should take incarnation."
艢iva agreed and sent the devas back to their world. Then he called M膩lyav膩n and told him to take birth as the son of Mahendr腻诲颈迟测补 in the city of Ujjayin墨. 艢iva added. "You should exterminate all the Barbarians and reinstate rituals and ceremonies. The Yak峁s, R膩k峁sas, ghosts etc. will be under your control. You will be an emperor there with divine powers." Accordingly M膩lyav膩n took birth as the son of Mahendr腻诲颈迟测补. That infant was 痴颈办谤补尘腻诲颈迟测补 who became a mighty emperor later. (Kath膩sarits膩gara, Vi峁ma艣墨lalambaka, Tara峁単a 1).

I originally created thee out of a portion of myself, as 痴颈办谤补尘腻诲颈迟测补, in order that thou mightest destroy the Asuras, that had become incarnate in the form of Mlecchas. And now thou hast again been created by me as an heroic king of the name of Trivikramasena, in order that thou mightest overcome an audacious evildoer. So thou shalt bring under thy sway the earth with the islands and the realms below, and shalt soon become supreme ruler over the Vidy膩dharas鈥�.

General definition (in Hinduism)
: WikiPedia: Hinduism痴颈办谤补尘腻诲颈迟测补 (啶掂た啶曕啶班ぎ啶距う啶苦い啷嵿く).鈥擳he Bhavishya Purana mentions that Vikramaditya ruled Bharatavarsha (India) bounded by Indus river in the west, Badaristhana (Badrinath) in the north, Kapila in the east and Setubandha (Rameshwaram) in the south. A hundred years after his death, many languages and many religions had developed in the 18 kingdoms of the Aryadesha (country of the Aryas). When the outsiders such as the 艢akas heard about the destruction of dharma (righteousness, law and order) in Aryadesha, they raided the country by crossing the Indus and the Himalayas. They plundered Aryas and returned to their countries with the wives of the Aryas. Shalivahana, the grandson of Vikramaditya, then subjugated the 艢akas and other barbarians. He defined the maryada to distinguish the Aryans from the mlecchas, and established Indus as the border between the Aryan lands and the land of the mlecchas.
