The Ocean of the Rivers of Story (Volume 1) (Clay Sanskrit Library, 57) - Hardcover
Book 21 of 52: Clay Sanskrit Library
Synopsis
Somaˇdeva composed his Ocean of the Rivers of Story in Kashmir in the eleventh century CE. It is a vast collection of tales based on The Long Story, a now lost (and perhaps legendary) repository of Indian fables, in which prince Naraˇváhanaˇdatta wins twenty-six wives and becomes the emperor of the sorcerers. There are tales within tales within tales. By turns funny, exciting, or didactic, they illustrate points within the narrative or are told simply to provide entertainment for the protagonists. Its twenty thousand plus verses are written in simple but elegant Sanskrit and it has long been used as an introductory text for students of the language.
