The Kathá Sarit Ságara

Note 9 — Chapter CXXIII

C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation

There is a dvípa named Kaṭáha, the home of all felicities. In it there is a king rightly named Guṇaságara.9 He had born to him by his principal queen a daughter named Guṇavatí, who by her beauty produced astonishment even in the Creator who made her. And holy seers announced that she should have for a husband the lord of the seven dvípas; whereupon her father the king deliberated with his counsellors; and came to this conclusion, “King Vikramáditya is a suitable husband for my daughter; so I will send her to marry him.”
