: WikiPedia: Hinduism

ṛhٰ첹ٳśǰ첹ṃg (बृहत्कथाश्लोकसंग्र�) is Budhasvāmin's abridgement into Sanskrit verse of the now lost Great Story (Bṛhatkathā). It tells the legend of the youthful exploits of prince Naravāhanadatta (Nara-vahana-datta).

The main story narrates Naravāhanadatta’s progress culminating in his destined enthronement as the emperor of the 󲹰 (celestial beings), celestial beings with magical abilities, winning twenty-six wives along the way.

Somadeva's ٳٲ岵 (Ocean of Streams of Story) and Ksemendra's Brhatkathamanjari are other works said ultimately to derive from the same lost Great Story.
