鲹ٲԲ (रत्नरेखा) is the wife of king Buddhiprabha from Ratnākara, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 66. Accordingly: �... there lived in a city, named Ratnākara, a king, named Buddhiprabha, who was a very lion to the infuriated elephant-herd of his enemies. And there was born to him by his queen, named 鲹ٲԲ, a daughter, named Hemaprabhā, the most beautiful woman in the whole world�.

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