Accordingly, as the Asura Maya explained the arrangement of warriors in Sunītha’s army: “... And Prajñāḍhya and Sthirabuddhi are leaders of hosts of hosts of warriors”.
The story of Sthirabuddhi was narrated by the Vidyādhara king Vajraprabha to prince Naravāhanadatta in order to relate how “Sūryaprabha, being a man, obtain of old time the sovereignty over the Vidyādharas”.
