About this book
The introduction describes the composition as verse intermingled with prose constructed according to the rules and methods of Sanskrit rhetoric, with stories told at length. The introduction presents the work as a selection of birth stories whose avowed object is to rouse or invigorate true faith in the minds of the reader. The discussion of literary form describes a great variety of metres, some rarely encountered elsewhere, and the occasional addition of difficult and refined rhymes.
The introduction says that the poet apparently possessed natural gifts and that his talent must have been developed through thorough and extensive literary studies. The description of tale gathering says that teachers discarded the usual order of the Avadânas, using elaborate prose interspersed with verse.
