Source: Wisdom Library: Kath膩sarits膩gara痴颈办补峁璦惫补诲补苍补 (啶掂た啶曕啶掂う啶�) is the name of a Ga峁嘺 of Ambik膩, who incarnated as Pa帽caphu峁弓ika, due to a curse by Kapilaja峁璦, according to the Kath膩sarits膩gara, chapter 52. Accordingly as Ambik膩 said to J墨vadatta in bodily form: 鈥�... you four [eg., 痴颈办补峁璦惫补诲补苍补] once went to the sand of the Ganges to amuse yourselves, and saw there a hermit鈥檚 daughter bathing. She was called C膩palekh膩, the daughter of Kapilaja峁璦. And she was solicited by all of you, distracted with love鈥�.
The story of 痴颈办补峁璦惫补诲补苍补 was told by Gomukha in order to demonstrate that 鈥渄ivine beings fall by virtue of a curse, and, owing to the consequences of their own wickedness, are incarnate in the world of men, and after reaping the fruit appropriate to their bad conduct they again go to their own home on account of previously acquired merit鈥�.
The Kath膩sarits膩gara (鈥榦cean of streams of story鈥�), mentioning 痴颈办补峁璦惫补诲补苍补, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Narav膩hanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Gu峁嚹佱笉hya鈥檚 B峁沨atkath膩 consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
Kavya (啶曕ぞ啶掂啶�, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or 鈥榚pic poetry鈥� and natya, or 鈥榙ramatic poetry鈥�.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
