Offers a collection of animal fables that are interwoven with human stories, designed to instruct wayward princes. This title also contains the compact version of King Vikrama's Adventures, thirty-two tales about a generous emperor, told by thirty-two statuettes adorning his lion-throne.

Nanda has it all: youth, money, good looks and a kittenish wife who fulfills his sexual and emotional needs. He also has the Buddha, a dispassionate man of immense insight and self-containment, for an older brother. When Nanda is made a reluctant recruit to the Buddha''s order of monks, he is forced to confront his all-too-human enslavement to his erotic and romantic desires. Dating from the second century CE, Ashva·ghosha’s Handsome Nanda portrays its hero’s spiritual makeover with compassion, psychological profundity, and great poetic skill.
Co-published by New York University Press and the JJC Foundation
