Introduction
About this Manuscript
Written by the Buddhist poet Aśvaghoṣa, a contemporary of Emperor Kanishka, this mahākāvya (epic poem) narrates the life of the Buddha in verse. Only thirteen cantos of the Sanskrit poem claim to be Asvaghosa's composition; the last four cantos are an attempt by a modern Nepalese author Amṛtānada to supply the loss of the original.
