Synopsis of The Ocean of the Rivers of Story: v. 2

The frame narrative in The Ocean of the Rivers of Story is so swamped in the flood of stories that it is not until volume two of the CSL edition, 3,000 verses into the text, that Nara*vahana*datta, the protagonist, is born. Shiva has foretold his birth and said that he is a partial incarnation of the god of love and will become the emperor of the sorcerers. From here on the main narrative and many of the tales pouring into it describe the exploits of sorcerers and lovers. This volume ends with the events preceding the birth of Madana*manchuka, Nara*vahana*datta's first and greatest love.
