THE SAGA OF THE
WELL-AND-WISE-WALKING KHAN.
DEDICATION.
O thou most perfect Master and Teacher of Wisdom and Goodness! Teacher, second only to the incomparable Shâkjamuni[1]! Thou accomplished Nâgârg'una[2]! Thou who wast intimately acquainted with the Most-pure Tripîtaka[3], and didst evolve from it thy wise madhjamika[4], containing the excellent paramârtha[5]! Before thee I prostrate myself! Hail! Nâgârg'una O!
It is even the wonderful and astounding history of the deeds of the Well-and-wise-walking Khan, which he performed under the help and direction of this same Master and Teacher, Nâgârg'una, that I propose to relate in the form of the following series of narratives.
