Adventure, conquest, romance, comedy, suspense, and tragedy are just a few of the themes woven together by the range of styles represented in this set of classical Sanskrit literature. The set brings together classics like the Aesop's fables which originated in Vishnu*sharman's "Five Discourses on Worldly Wisdom" with the less traditional, such as the adventures of Dandin's "What Ten Young Men Did," written uncharacteristically in prose rather than verse.

Edited and translated by Sir James Mallinson. 452 pages / 978-0-8147-5701-7 The Emperor of the Sorcerers Volume 2 By Budha*svamin.
