1) վīٲپ (विनीतमति) is the son of Kamalamati, the warder of king Udayatuṅga from Ahicchatrā, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 72. Accordingly, as a female ascetic said to Guṇākara: �... and he [king Udayatuṅga] had a noble warder named Kamalamati. This warder had a matchless son named վīٲپ. The lotus, in spite of its threads, and the bow, in spite of its string, could not be compared to that youth who possessed a string of good qualities, for the first was hollow and the second crooked�.

2) վīٲپ (विनीतमति) is an ambassador (ūٲ) of king Mandāradeva from Haṃsadvīpa, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 101. Accordingly, as Muni Kaṇva said to Mṛgāṅkadatta in his hermitage: �... he sent her [Mandāravatī] off from Haṃsadvīpa by sea on an auspicious day, to travel to Alakā, in order that she might be married there; and he sent with her a minister of his own, named վīٲپ...’�.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story�), mentioning վīٲپ, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Naravāhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 󲹰 (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
