Roll over image to zoom in

Product Description

The Buddhist legend of Jimutavahana is related twice in the course of the Kathasaritsagara and is dramatised in a play called the Nagananda. The first of these works, the title of which means the 'Ocean-River of Story" is a production of the 10th or 11th century AD. It is entirely in verse, founded by its author, Somadeva, on an earlier collection of existing legends related in a work called Vrihat Katha, which goes back to the 2nd century A.D. The drama, Nagananda, follows the line of the legend very closely, as given in the 22nd Chapter of Kathasaritsagara. The authorship is uncertain, though all duly qualified judges assign 7th century AD. as the date of its composition.
