Raviśṛṅga (रविशृङ्ग) is the name of a mountain on whose peak was located Kuvalayāmoda (a tank or reservoir), according to the eighth Ucchvāsa of the Udayasundarīkathā. It was at Kuvalayāmoda tank that Tārākiriṭa (king of Kośātakī) was, by effect of a curse, ordered to live and protect Udayasundarī.

The Udayasundarīkathā is a Sanskrit epic tale written by Soḍḍhala in the early 11th century, revolving around the Nāga princess Udayasundarī and Malayavāhana (king of Pratiṣṭhāna).
