Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

Banabhatta in his seventh century AD novel, Kadambari (Purvabhaga 114-115), records [narrates?] the story of an Ujjain prince [note 1], Chandrapida, who, fighting Kirata and kindred tribes in the vast forests beyond Suvarnapura [note 2], saw a Shiva temple and a cave in its southern direction (note 3). SITUATION: The cave appears to lie somewhere in the vast forests beyond (south of) the village of Sonepur (N20°50': E083°55') near the confluence (N20°50': E083°54') where the riverTel joins the Mahanadi.Banabhatta in his seventh century AD novel, Kadambari (Purvabhaga 114-115), records [narrates?] the story of an Ujjain prince [note 1], Chandrapida, who, fighting Kirata and kindred tribes in the vast forests beyond Suvarnapura [note 2], saw a Shiva temple and a cave in its southern direction (note 3).
