THE CHOSEN BRIDEGROOM
Kathasaritasagara, the ocean of stories is among the earliest collection of stories extant in the world. It was complied by a brahmin nam- ed Somadeva for the amusement of Suryavali, wife of King Ananta of Kashmir, at whose court Somadeva was a poet. Myriad streams of myth and mystery flow in to create this fanciful and fascinating ocean – tales of wondrous maidens and their fearless lovers, of kings and cities, of statecraft and int- rigue, of magic and spells, of treachery and tric- kery, of ghosts and goblins."The chosen bridegroom" and "The Gods as witnesses" In this volume are based on stories from Somadeva's Kathasaritasagara.
