Title Mantrībuddhikathā

Subject Kathā

Language Newari

The name Mantrībuddhikathā is an alternative one for Vīraśikhā. This latter name is that of the character who figures as the son of the hero Bandara Baniyā and heroine Prabhāvatī in the Śukabahattarī, and as the supreme mantrī (minister) of the country. This story is meant as a continuation of the Śukabahattarī.

(See: Kansakar,1980:289-290)
