Accordingly, “... the chamberlain Dharmagiri is weeping here. For a foolish friend of his came here just now and said that his brother, who went on a pilgrimage to holy places, was dead in a foreign land.”.

The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
