Source: Research Gate: On Fish in Manasollasa (c. 1131 AD)Svarṇamīna (स्वर्णमीन) refers to a type of fish identified with Barbus sarana Ham., as mentioned in the 12th-century Mānasollāsa or Abhilaṣitārthachintāmaṇi, an ancient Sanskrit text describing thirty-five kinds of marine and fresh water fishes.—Swarnamina has been described as an inland, scaly, medium-sized fish, which in Sanskrit would mean a golden fish. Names such as sarana (similar to swarna, gold) in Bengal and Orissa and kannuka (kanakam in Sanskrit also means gold) in Andhra help us to identify this barb fish as Barbus sarana Ham. Hora (1951) too has identified this fish as B. sarana.
