King Sātavāhana accompanied by the disciples of Guṇāḍhya came to his palace carrying the ‘Bṛhatkathā’ containing the story of Naravāhanadatta. He gave presents to Guṇadeva and Nandideva who explained to him the book in Sanskrit. King Sātavāhana added a preface to the book to explain to the public how the book came to be written in satanic language. The book very soon got world fame. (Pīṭhānulambaka Kathāsaritsāgara).
