ѲԴǰٳ󲹱 (मनोरथप्रभा) is the name of a Vidyādharī (female Vidyādhara), according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 58. Accordingly, as ѲԴǰٳ󲹱 said to Somaprabha: �... know that I am the daughter of that king [Padmakūṭa] by his Queen Hemaprabhā, and that my name is ѲԴǰٳ󲹱, and my father loves me more than his life. I, by the power of my science, used to visit, with my female companions, the isles, and the principal mountains, and the woods, and the gardens, and after amusing myself, I made a point of returning every day at my father’s meal-time, at the third watch of the day, to my palace�.

The story of ѲԴǰٳ󲹱 was narrated by Gomukha to Naravāhanadatta in order to demonstrate that “the appointed union of human beings certainly takes place in this world, though vast spaces intervene�.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story�), mentioning ѲԴǰٳ󲹱, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Naravāhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the 󲹰 (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
