Source: Wisdom Library: Kath膩sarits膩gara1) 惭补苍诲腻谤补惫补迟墨 (啶え啷嵿う啶距ぐ啶掂い啷�) is the daughter of the Br膩hman named Agnisv膩min from Brahmasthala, as mentioned in the second story of the 痴别迟腻濒补辫补帽肠补惫颈峁兣沘迟颈 in the Kath膩sarits膩gara, chapter 76. Accordingly, 鈥�... to him [Agnisv膩min] there was born a very beautiful daughter named 惭补苍诲腻谤补惫补迟墨. Indeed, when providence (vidhi) had created this maiden of novel and priceless beauty, he was disgusted with the nymphs of heaven, his own precious handiwork. And when she [惭补苍诲腻谤补惫补迟墨] grew up, there came there from K膩nyakubja three young Br膩hmans, equally matched in all accomplishments鈥�.
2) 惭补苍诲腻谤补惫补迟墨 (啶え啷嵿う啶距ぐ啶掂い啷�) is the daughter of king Mand膩radeva from Ha峁僺adv墨pa, according to the Kath膩sarits膩gara, chapter 101. Accordingly, as K膩ty膩yan墨 said to Sundarasena: 鈥�... there [at Ha峁僺adv墨pa] I saw the daughter of King Mand膩radeva, a suitable match for the sons of gods, not to be beheld by those who have done evil works; she bears the name of 惭补苍诲腻谤补惫补迟墨, and has a form as charming as the presiding goddess of the garden of the gods; the sight of her kindles love, and she seems like another moon all composed of nectar, created by the Disposer. There is no other beauty on the earth equal to hers [惭补苍诲腻谤补惫补迟墨]; only you, Prince [Sundarasena], I think, emulate her wealth of loveliness鈥�.
The story of 惭补苍诲腻谤补惫补迟墨 is mentioned in the 痴别迟腻濒补辫补帽肠补惫颈峁兣沘迟颈 (twenty-five tales of a 惫别迟腻濒补) which is embedded in the twelfth book of the Kath膩sarits膩gara (鈥榦cean of streams of story鈥�). The main book is a famous Sanskrit epic detailing the exploits of prince Narav膩hanadatta in his quest to become the emperor of the 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 (celestial beings). The Kath膩-sarit-s膩gara is is explained to be an adaptation of Gu峁嚹佱笉hya鈥檚 B峁沨atkath膩 which consisted of 100,000 verses and in turn forms part of an even larger work containing 700,000 verses.
