Campakeśa

Campakeśa · campaka-īśa, “the master of the campaka”

Campakeśa, also called Campaka, was a strong archer king of the famous city of Campāpurī. The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa names him in the account of Trilokasundarī, which the Vaitāla tells King Vikramāditya. His queen was Sulocanā, and their daughter was Trilokasundarī.

To her svayaṃvara came the world-famed kings and the devatās, who took human bodies. Four suitors spoke to Campakeśa and each asked for his daughter. The king was amazed and could not decide. He told his daughter all and asked which groom she desired, but from modesty she gave no answer.
