Blending Buddhist compassion with traditional Indian theatrical elements, the play narrates the story of Prince Jimutavahana, who sacrifices himself to save a Naga (serpent being). Boyd's translation preserves the poetic and spiritual essence of the original, offering insights into ancient Indian literature, religious values, and dramatic tradition. It remains a valuable resource for students of Sanskrit drama and Indian culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Palmer Boyd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback \u0026amp; Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyan Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1872\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Nagananda or the joy of the snake-world available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes – \u003cem\u003eNagananda or the joy of the snake-world\u003c\/em\u003e is available here in Paperback and Hardcover; pick the one you want from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote Nagananda or the joy of the snake-world?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNagananda or the joy of the snake-world is written by Palmer Boyd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
