³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ (समरसिंà¤�) is the name of a warrior (sainya) in service of king VikramÄditya from UjjayinÄ«, according to the KathÄsaritsÄgara, chapter 121. Accordingly, â€�... and the following speeches of the military officers, assigning elephants and horses, were heard in the neighbourhood of the city [UjjayinÄ«] when the kings started, and within the city itself when the sovereign started: ‘[...] ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ [must take] the white mare Gaá¹…gÄlaharÄ« of pure Sindh breed...’â€�.

The KathÄsaritsÄgara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±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).

Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)

: Journal of South Asian Intellectual History: ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ and the Early Transmission of TÄjika Astrology

³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ (समरसिंà¤�) is the name of an author on TÄjika doctrine: a Sanskritized version of Perso-Arabic astrology sharing a core of pre-Islamic Indian Âá²â´Ç³Ù¾±á¹£a and Hellenistic astrology.—³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ of the PrÄgvÄá¹­akula wrote his Gaṇakabhūṣaṇa or TÄjikatantrasÄra or KarmaprakÄÅ›ikÄ in GujarÄt in 1274. He traces his ancestry through the PrÄgvÄá¹­a clan (anvaya). This is a mixed Jain and Hindu kinship group, known today as Porwad or Porwal and generally considered to form part of the non-Brahman BaniyÄ or merchant caste. Despite the high social standing that ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ claims for his family, it thus appears that, contrary to the assertions of later TÄjika authors, he was not a Brahman. About two generations after his presumed floruit, another PrÄgvÄá¹­a author on TÄjika, Tejaḥsiṃha, even refers to himself as ‘the son of a Śūdraâ€�, asking that readers not disregard his work on that account. Tejaḥsiṃha, whose precise relationship (if any) to ³§²¹³¾²¹°ù²¹²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹ is unknown but who belonged to the same PrÄgvÄá¹­a community, likewise claimed a family connection with the Caulukyas in a ministerial capacity.
