Description
This text is the 32nd chapter of the Bhadrakalpāvadāna, an Avadāna text divided into 38 chapters related to the Vinayapiṭaka. It is composed in a dialogue format between Aśoka and Upagupta (NCC, Vol. 16, p. 126). The text narrates the birth story of Supriya, his adventurous journey to Badaradvīpa, and his return. It presents a story very similar to Sl. No. 478, although this version begins with the birth story of Supriya.
