۲śDZ (यशोलेख�) is the head-queen of king Pratāpasena who, together with king Samarabāla conspired in a campaign against king Camarabāla according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 54. Accordingly, �... and the king [Camarabāla ] made ۲śDZ an inmate of his own harem, on the ground that she, being the wife of Pratāpasena, was captured according to the custom of the Kṣatriyas�.

The story of ۲śDZ was narrated to Naravāhanadatta by Gomukha in order to demonstrate that “a brave man, though unsupported, conquers in the front of battle even many enemies coming against him in fight, distracted with hate, and not considering the resources of themselves and their foe, and by his surpassing bravery puts a stop to the fever of their conceit and pride�.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story�), mentioning ۲śDZ, 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.
