Source: Wisdom Library: Kathāsaritsāgara

ԲԳٲ峾 (अनन्तस्वामिन�) is the name of a Brāhman and minister of king Tārāvarman from Tārāpura according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 56. Accordingly, �... the excellent Brāhman ԲԳٲ峾, came that way on business, with his elephants, horses and foot-soldiers, and entered the house of that merchant [Sārthadhara], being a friend of his. After he [ԲԳٲ峾] had rested, he saw the handsome boy Mahīpāla, engaged in muttering prayers and in sacrificing to the fire, and asked his story; then the Brāhman minister, finding that the boy was of his own caste, as he had no children, begged the boy and his sister [Candravatī] from the merchant�.

The story of ԲԳٲ峾 was narrated by Marubhūti order to entertain the company of prince Naravāhanadatta.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story�), mentioning ԲԳٲ峾, 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.
