³§¾±»å»å³óīś±¹²¹°ù²¹ (सिदà¥à¤§à¥€à¤¶à¥à¤µà¤°) is the name of a holy place (°ìá¹£e³Ù°ù²¹) situated on the TridaÅ›a mountain, as mentioned in the KathÄsaritsÄgara, chapter 114. Accordingly, as the the two heavenly swans (Piá¹…geÅ›vara and GuheÅ›vara) said this to King Brahmadatta (Maṇipuá¹£peÅ›vara): â€�... come, let us go to that holy place of Åšiva on the TridaÅ›a mountain, rightly named ³§¾±»å»å³óīś±¹²¹°ù²¹, where the gods performed asceticism in order to bring about the destruction of the Asura Vidyuddhvaja. And they slew that Asura in fight, with the help of MuktÄphalaketu, the head of all the VidyÄdhara princes, who had been obtained by the favour of Åšivaâ€�.

The KathÄsaritsÄgara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ³§¾±»å»å³óīś±¹²¹°ù²¹, 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.
