The Kādambarī of Bāṇa by Bāṇa‏ and Bhūṣaṇabhaṭṭa

"The Kādambarī of Bāṇa by Bāṇa and Bhūṣaṇabhaṭṭa" is a Sanskrit novel composed in the first half of the 7th century CE. This intricate romantic tale follows the hero Chandrapeeda and heroine Kadambari through multiple incarnations as humans, demigods, and animals. The story unfolds through nested narratives, largely told by a parrot recounting tales from a sage. With competing subplots and characters appearing in various forms, the novel weaves an elaborate path toward the eventual union of its central lovers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
