1) ³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹±è²¹°ùÄå°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹ (सिंहपराकà¥à¤°à¤�) is mentioned as a follower of king Vikramacaṇá¸a according to the KathÄsaritsÄgara, chapter 23. Accordingly, “Vikramacaṇá¸a had a favourite follower named ³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹±è²¹°ùÄå°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹, who was wonderfully successful in all battles and in all gambling contestsâ€�. Their story was told by Vasantaka to king Udayana in order to demonstrate that “hatred and affection are commonly produced in living beings in this world owing to their continually recalling the impressions of a past state of existenceâ€�.

2) ³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹±è²¹°ùÄå°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹ (सिंहपराकà¥à¤°à¤�) is the son of Caṇá¸a²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹: a chief (³¾²¹³óÄå³¾²¹²Ô³Üá¹£y²¹), according to the twenty-fourth story of the VetÄlapañcaviṃśati in the KathÄsaritsÄgara, chapter 98. Accordingly, â€�... and when he [Caṇá¸a²õ¾±á¹ƒh²¹] saw their footsteps imprinted in the dust, he said to his son ³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹±è²¹°ùÄå°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹: ‘We will follow up these lovely and auspicious tracks, and if we find the ladies to whom they belong, you shall choose whichever you please of them’â€�.

3) ³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹±è²¹°ùÄå°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹ (सिंहपराकà¥à¤°à¤�) 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: ‘[...] and ³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹±è²¹°ùÄå°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹ [must take the elephant] Saá¹…grÄmasiddhi...’â€�.

The KathÄsaritsÄgara (‘ocean of streams of storyâ€�), mentioning ³§¾±á¹ƒh²¹±è²¹°ùÄå°ì°ù²¹³¾²¹, 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.
