Title: Rajapraśniya (Skt).
Content: "[T]he nucleus of the work is really the dialogue ... between King Paësi and the monk Kesi, concluding with the conversion of the free-thinking king. This is a splendid, lively dialogue, in which Kesi endeavours to prove to Paësi that there is a soul independent of the body, whilst Paësi thinks that he has established the contrary by means of experiments" (Winternitz 1933:2, 455–56). References: JSBI 2, 37-63; JRK 330-31; BORI Cat. 17:1, 174-81; Schubring 1935 §47.2.
