³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹»å²¹³Ù³Ù²¹ (सिंहदतà¥à¤¤) was a soldier in SunÄ«tha and SÅ«ryaprabha’s army whose strength is considered as equaling a double-power warrior (»å±¹¾±²µ³Üṇa°ù²¹³Ù³ó²¹), according to the KathÄsaritsÄgara, chapter 47. Accordingly, as the Asura Maya explained the arrangement of warriors in SunÄ«tha’s army: â€�... [³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹»å²¹³Ù³Ù²¹, and others], these are all warriors of double powerâ€�.

The story of ³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹»å²¹³Ù³Ù²¹ was narrated by the VidyÄdhara king Vajraprabha to prince NaravÄhanadatta in order to relate how “SÅ«ryaprabha, being a man, obtain of old time the sovereignty over the VidyÄdharasâ€�.

The KathÄsaritsÄgara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹»å²¹³Ù³Ù²¹, 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.
