Saṅgrāmavarṣa (सङ्ग्रामवर्ष) is the name of a sovereign and relation of Samaratuṅga, as mentioned in the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 54. Accordingly, as Samaratuṅga said to Naravāhanadatta“... prince, my relation Saṅgrāmavarṣa has ravaged my territory, with the help of his four sons, Vīrajita, and the others. So I will go myself and bring them all five here as prisoners. Let my lord know this”.

The Kathāsaritsāgara (‘ocean of streams of story’), mentioning Saṅgrāmavarṣa, 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.
