Literature.
H. L. Jain-Parallelism of Tales Between Apabhramsa and Western (Pr. & Tr. A.I.O.C., 18th Sess., 1955. Annamalainagar, 1958).
Pp. 270-273. Numerous stories found in Pāli and Sanskrit literature, have in the past, travelled from India to the West. The Sugandha-daśami-kathā in Apabhramśa: It narrates the life of a rich man's daughter whose mother died while she was young. The father married again and had another daughter from his second wife. The step daughter was ill-treated and married to a cowherd, who ultimately turned out to be the king. The unfortunate daughter suddenly became a queen. Its two counter-parts in French and German. The German story (Ashputtel) was collected by J.L. Karl GRIMM-(1785-1863), while the time of French (story in Cabinet des Fees), writer Charles PARRAULT was from 1628 to 1703 A.D. The English version's title is Cindrella or The Little Glass Slipper. The date of the Apabhramsa story is uncertain but its manuscripts are dated earlier than the 17th century. Another is that of Srutasāgara, who lived about 1500 A.D. Thus the Indian story is the earliest of the versions mentioned above.
