Introduction
About this Manuscript
This text is a part of the Vīrakuśāvadāna and describes the story of King Subandhu, who has no children, and how he became the father of a son born from a sugarcane plant due to his observance of the Aṣṭamīvrata. It also recounts the story of King Vīrakuśa and how he attained salvation by observing the Aṣṭamīvrata. The text highlights the benefits of the vrata. It seems that Upagupta, the well-known Buddhist monk, narrates the story to King Aśoka.
