Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 23, sentence 139

I conjecture that a collection of fables existed in India before Buddha and independently of the Jatakas, and connected with the name of Kasyapa, who was afterwards made by the Buddhists into the latest of the twenty-seven pre-incarnations of the Buddha.

Who acts: that, Buddhists · What happens: collection, exist, connect, make, name · To what, where: fables, India, name, latest, Kasyapa
