A vampire piggybacking on a king's back while spinning stories and riddles! Poor King Vikram! Tasked by the sorcerer Shaitanish to bring him a corpse, he finds that a vampire named Betal has taken residence in it. He’ll come along only if King Vikram lends a willing ear to a series of riddling tales. There’s the one about the world’s most sensitive ladies: Queens Touchmenot, Itsratherhot and Oohmyhead. There’s the tale of the four foolish brothers Nin, Com, Poo and Oops. Each tale is crazier, funnier, madder than the last, and even if King Vikram doesn’t enjoy the journey - you sure will! The story of Vikram and Betal is over a thousand years old. See this much-loved traditional tale come alive with Priya Kuriyan’s fabulous illustrations. Published by Zubaan.

The stories of TALES OF KING VIKRAM AND BETAAL THE VAMPIRE is anicon of Indian storey telling, a brain teaser. Although there are 32 stories 25are covered in Betal Panchisi. I will be sharing with you shortly, some of thestories that are available with me. I am sure, after some time my colleaguewill definitely let me know the stories which I could not lay hand and help mein endeavoring my efforts.A very famous account of human and vetal interaction is chronicled in theBetaal pachisi ('Twenty Five Tales Of The Vampire) which consist of twentyfive tales chronicling the adventures of King Vikramaditya and how his witswere pitted against a vetal a sorcerer had asked him to capture for him.Vetals have great wisdom and insight into the human soul in addition to beingable to see into the past and future and are thus very valuable acquisitions towise men.This particular vetal inhabited a tree in a crematorium/graveyard and the onlyway it could be captured was by standing still and completely silent in themiddle of the graveyard/crematorium. However, every single time the kingtried this vetal would tempt him with a story that ended in a question theanswering of which King Vikramaditya could not resist. As a result the vetalwould re-inhabit the tree and the king was left to try again.Only after relating twenty five tales does the vetal allow the king to bear himback to the sorcerer, hence the name Betaal pachisi.The vetal informs the king of the treacherous sorcerers' true intentions. Thesorcerer means to trick Vikramaditya, possessor of thirty two virtues, andsacrifice him to a Goddess which would give him control over the vetal and hiskind.The vetal advises the king to ask the sorcerer how to pay his respects to theGoddess (which the sorcerer would ask him to do and use this opportunity tosacrifice him) and behead him while he is distracted. On following the vetal'sadvice the king is blessed and granted a boon by Lord Indra. The king wishes2the sorcerer to come back to life and wishes that henceforth he would havethe help and advice of the vetal whenever he needed it.The Betaal Pansihi was originally written in Sanskrit and is said to be theinspiration for the Arabian Nights and subsequent collections of fantasticmythological tales.

‘The genius of Eastern nations,’ says an established and respectable authority, ‘was, from the earliest times, much turned towards invention and the love of fiction. The Indians, the Persians, and the Arabians, were all famous for their fables. Amongst the ancient Greeks we hear of the Ionian and Milesian tales, but they have now perished, and, from every account that we hear of them, appear to have been loose and indelicate.’ Similarly, the classical dictionaries define ‘Milesiæ fabulæ’ to be ‘licentious themes,’ ‘stories of an amatory or mirthful nature,’ or ‘ludicrous and indecent plays.’ M. Deriége seems indeed to confound them with the ‘Mœurs du Temps’ illustrated with artistic gouaches, when he says, ‘une de ces fables milésiennes, rehaussées de peintures, que la corruption romaine recherchait alors avec une folle ardeur.’
