Source: Wisdom Library: Kathāsaritsāgara

Իܳ (इन्दुमालिन�) or Indramālin is the name of a Vidyādhara king and warrior chief (ٳ󲹲ūٳ󲹱貹) who fought on Śrutaśarman’s side but was slain by Prabhāsa, who participated in the war against Sūryaprabha, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 48. Accordingly: �... when they heard that [speech of Śrutaśarman], eight warriors in anger surrounded Prabhāsa.... And the third was the hero Իܳ, a prince of the Vidyādharas, lord of a host of distinguished warriors, and his home was the mountain Līlā�.

The story of Իܳ was narrated by the Vidyādhara king Vajraprabha to prince Naravāhanadatta in order to relate how “Sūryaprabha, being a man, obtain of old time the sovereignty over the Vidyādharas�.

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