In Hinduism

Kavya (poetry)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Ashruta in Kavya glossary
Source: Wisdom Library: Kathāsaritsāgara

śܳ (अश्रुत�) was married to Muni Aṣṭāvakra, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 105. Accordingly, as Rumaṇvat said to Naravāhanadatta: �... once upon a time a hermit, named Aṅgiras, asked Aṣṭāvakra for the hand of his daughter Sāvitrī. But Aṣṭāvakra would not give him his daughter Sāvitrī, though he was an excellent match, because she was already betrothed to someone else. Then Aṅgiras married śܳ, his brother’s daughter, and lived a long time with her as his wife in great happiness; but she was well aware that he had previously been in love with Sāvitrī�.

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