Another collection of fairy tales is the *Siṁhāsana-dvātriṁçikā*, or "Thirty-two Stories of the Lion-seat" (*i.e.* throne), which also goes by the name of *Vikrama-charita*, or "Adventures of Vikrama." Here it is the throne of King Vikrama that tells the tales. Both this and the preceding collection are of Buddhistic origin.
