²ÑÄå²Ô²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ (मानसिंà¤�) is (mentioned falsely as) the name an ancient king from KÄmarÅ«pa, as mentioned in the KathÄsaritsÄgara, chapter 124. Accordingly, â€�... then the clever woman forged a letter, and showed it to me, saying: ‘The king, my sovereign, has sent me a letter: read itâ€�. Then I opened the letter, and read as follows: ‘The august sovereign of the fortunate KÄmarÅ«pa, ²ÑÄå²Ô²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹, sends thence this order to Sumaá¹…galÄ: “Why do you remain so long absent? Return quickly, dismissing your desire of seeing foreign countriesâ€â€™â€�.

The KathÄsaritsÄgara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ²ÑÄå²Ô²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince NaravÄhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the ±¹¾±»å²âÄå»å³ó²¹°ù²¹²õ (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of GuṇÄá¸hya’s Bá¹›hatkathÄ consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
