In Hinduism

Kavya (poetry)

Source: Wisdom Library: Kathāsaritsāgara

Mānasavega (मानसवेग) is the name of a Vidyādhara lord according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 34. Accordingly, as he spoke to Kaliṅgasenā: “I am a king, a lord of the Vidyādharas named Mānasavega, and you [Kaliṅgasenā] are a heavenly nymph named Surabhidattā, who by a curse have fallen down to earth, and this your daughter [Madanamañcukā] is of heavenly origin; this is known to me well. So give me this daughter of yours in marriage, for the connection is a suitable one”.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story’), mentioning Mānasavega, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Naravāhanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the vidyādharas (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.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra

Mānasavegā (मानसवेगा) is the wife of Vidhyādhara-king Vidyudratha from Alakā, according to chapter 5.4 [śāntinātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, as Megharatha related:—“In this Jambūdvīpa in Bharata in the northern row on Vaitāḍhya there is a fine city Alakā. A Vidhyādhara-king, Vidyudratha, and his agreeable wife, Mānasavegā, lived there. He had a son by her, the tree of whose arm was blooming with power, named Siṃharatha, because of a dream of a chariot with lions for steeds. He married a maiden, Vegavatī, belonging to an eminent family, suitable to himself, like the Moon marrying Rohiṇī. King Vidyudratha made him yuvarāj. For that is a suitable thing for kings to do when the son has reached military age. [...]”.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
