मदनमञ्चुका
[madanamancuka] IAST: MADANAMAÑCUKĀ
A heroine of 'Vatsarājacarita'. Her mother was a nymph in her previous birth. By a curse of Devendra she was born on earth as कलिङ्गसेना and lived serving in the palace of उदयन , King of वत्स . She desired to make उदयन her husband. In the meantime a गन्धर्व named मदनवेग fell in love with कलिङ्गसेना . Knowing that कलिङ्गसेना was in love with उदयन the गन्धर्व followed her in the garb of the King उदयन and at last they were married. कलिङ्गसेना soon delivered मदनमञ्चुका , an incarnation of रतिदेवि . When she grew up she married नरवाहनदत्त , son of उदयन . (Madanamañcukālambaka, Kathāsaritsāgara, Taraṅga 8)
