A collection containing numerous animal fables that are interwoven with human stories, all designed to instruct wayward princes. It features tales of canny procuresses that compete with those of cunning crows and tigers. It also contains the compact version of "King Vikrama's Adventures", thirty-two popular tales about a generous emperor.
King Harsha, who reigned over the kingdom of Kanauj from 606 to 647 CE, composed two Sanskrit plays about the mythical figures of King Udayana, his queen, Vásava-datta, and two of his co-wives. The plays abound in mistaken identities, both political and erotic. The characters masquerade as one another and, occasionally, as themselves, and each play refers simultaneously to itself and to the other.
