Excerpt from The Buddhist Legend of Jîmûtavâhana: From the Kathâ-Sarit-Sâgara (the Ocean-River of Story) Dramatized in the Nâgânanda (the Joy of the World of Serpents), A Buddhist Drama by Srî Harsha Deva
The Buddhist legend of Jîmûtavâhana is related twice in the course of the Kathasaritsagara, in the 22nd and 90th chapters, and is dramatised in a play called the Nagananda. The first of these works, the title of which means the "Ocean-river of Story," is a production of the 10th or 11th century A.D. It is entirely in verse, founded by its author, Somadeva, on an earlier collection of existing legends related in a work called Vrihat Katha, which goes back to the 2nd century A.D. The drama, the Nagananda, follows the line of the legend very closely, as given in the 22nd chapter of the Kathasaritsagara. Nagananda signifies "The joy of the world of serpents," and refers to the hero Jîmutavahana, who is the centre of the drama. The authorship is uncertain, though all duly qualified judges assign the 7th century A.D. as the date of its composition.
