"Hindoo Tales; Or, the Adventures of Ten Princes" by Dandin is a prose romance in Sanskrit written in the seventh to eighth centuries CE. Ten young princes and sons of royal ministers are scattered across the land and must find their way back together.

When they reunite, they share their tales of deception, magic, imprisonment, and triumph in a masterful narrative that includes remarkable linguistic feats.
