Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legendary king Vikrama vows to an occultist that he will capture a Baital Pishacha, a celestial evil spirit. A Baital is an Indian equivalent of vampires in Western literature. It hangs upside-down from a tree and haunts graveyards to take demonic possession of corpses. King Vikrama faces several challenges in bringing Baital to the occultist. Each time Vikram tries to capture Baital, the ghoul tells a story that ends with a riddle. If Vikrama fails to answer the question correctly, the spirit agrees to remain in captivity. If the king knows the answer but still keeps quiet, his head shall burst into thousand pieces. And if King Vikrama answered the question correctly, Baital would flee and return to his tree. But the king knows the answer to every question, so will he ever catch the spirit? This curiosity ends later in the story, after many efforts made by the king to capture the demon fail. This collection presents immortal tales of ancient chivalry, wisdom, foolishness, honesty, and trickery. It is an English translation of the mythical stories of Vikram and Baital, originally written in Sanskrit. The translator has aimed to produce a work that would let people read the original text with accuracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baitâl Pachchisi: Or, The Twenty-Five Tales Of A Sprite Translated From The Hindi Text Of Dr. Duncan Forbes By John Platts This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Download or read book The Three Boys written by Yeshi Dorjee and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2006-10-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A virtuous young woman journeys to the Land of the Dead to retrieve the still-beating heart of a king; a wily corpse-monster tricks his young captor into setting him free; a king falls under a curse that turns him into a cannibal; a shepherd who understands the speech of animals saves a princess from certain death. These are just a few of the wondrous tales that await readers of this collection of Tibetan Buddhist folktales. Fifteen stories are told for modern readers in a vivid, accessible style that reflects a centuries-old tradition of storytelling in the monasteries and marketplaces of Tibet. As a child growing up in a Buddhist monastery, Yeshi Dorjee would often coax the elderly lamas into telling him folktales. By turns thrilling, mysterious, clever, and often hilariously funny, the stories he narrates here also teach important lessons about mindfulness, compassion, and other key Buddhist principles. They will delight readers of all ages, scholars and students, Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.
