Nagananda, Or The Joy Of The Snake World: A Buddhist Drama In Five Acts (1872) is a play written by Palmer Boyd. The play is set in ancient India and revolves around the story of Prince Jimutavahana, who is the son of King Srenika. The prince is a devout Buddhist and is known for his kindness and compassion towards all living beings.One day, Prince Jimutavahana comes across a group of snakes who are being hunted by a group of humans. The prince intervenes and saves the snakes, which earns him the gratitude of the snake king, Nagananda. In return, Nagananda offers the prince his daughter, Manasa, in marriage.However, the marriage is not without its challenges. The prince's mother, Queen Prabhavati, is opposed to the marriage and tries to stop it. She believes that the union between a human and a snake is unnatural and will bring bad luck to the kingdom. Despite her objections, the prince goes ahead with the marriage.The play explores themes of love, compassion, and the conflict between tradition and modernity. It also highlights the Buddhist belief in the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of treating all beings with kindness and respect.Overall, Nagananda, Or The Joy Of The Snake World: A Buddhist Drama In Five Acts (1872) is a thought-provoking play that offers insights into Buddhist philosophy and the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
