Gunadhya’s Brhatkatha in Prakrit is said to be the oldest work in the
history of Indian literature. Kathasaritsagara is the Sanskrit shloka
rendition of Gunadhya’s Brhatkatha. It is seen by many Sanskritists
as one of the oldest works of Sanskrit narrative literature.
Its author Somadeva Bhatta has stated that the Kathasaritsagara retains
fidelity to Gunadhya’s Prakrit work. However, the treatment,
presentation and rhetorical skills of Somadeva Bhatta lend the
Kathasaritsagara a rare distinction.
Kathasaritsagara literally means an ocean of the rivers of various
kathas. These stories present the realities of life in all their
shades. Reflecting the nine rasas, they mirror the life and culture of
Ancient India.
Kathasaritsagara comprises of 21388 shlokas in Sanskrit divided into 18
lambakas. It has also been divided into 124 tarangas.
Kathasaritsagara is a seminal work, and the entire tradition of Indian
writing is indebted to it. This edition carries an excellent Hindi
translation and has been painstakingly proof read hence making it a
very attractive read. It is extremely low priced as its publication has
been funded by Bihar State Government.

Kindly supply the extent of shlokas covered in each vol. I think, I
could see only its first vol. long back. Is the Hindi translation complete
in 3 vols ?
Thanks and regards.
