Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"Hindoo Tales; Or, the Adventures of Ten Princes" by Dandin is a prose romance in Sanskrit written in the seventh to eighth centuries CE. Ten young princes and sons of royal ministers are scattered across the land and must find their way back together. Each prince encounters extraordinary adventures—from conquering the netherworld to overthrowing usurpers, discovering hidden treasures, and navigating dangerous romances. When they reunite, they share their tales of deception, magic, imprisonment, and triumph in a masterful narrative that includes remarkable linguistic feats.
