Harisena was a tenth century Digambara monk who wrote Brhatkathakosha (great storehouse of stories) in 932 AD.[1][2] The text talks about the stupas in Mathura being erected by devas during controversies with Buddhists.[3] He was cited by Debala Mitra to indicate existence of five stupas in Mathura.[1]
