 Amar Chitra Katha (Eng)-078-SRIDATTA

The Kathāsaritsāgara ,Ocean of the Streams of Stories  is a famous 11th-century collection of Indian legends, fairy tales and folk tales as retold in Sanskrit by the Shaivite Somadeva.

Kathasaritsagara contains multiple layers of story within a story and is said to have been adopted from Guṇaḍhya's Bṛhatkatha , which was written in a poorly-understood language known as Paisachi. The Bṛhatkatha is no longer extant but several later adaptations still exist the Kathasaritsagara, Bṛhatkathamanjari and Bṛhatkathaslokasaṃgraha. However, none of these recensions necessarily derives directly from Gunadhya, and each may have intermediate versions. Scholars compare  Guṇaḍhya  with  Vyasa  and Valmiki even though he did not write the now long-lost Bṛhatkatha in Sanskrit. Presently available are its two Sanskrit recensions, the  Bṛhatkathamanjari  by  Kṣemendra and the Kathasaritsagara by Somadeva.
