Along with the Panchatantra and the 25 Tales of the Dead Demons, this is one of India's most representative collections of tales. The original title is Siṃhāsanadvātriṃśikā. It is also called Vikramcarita (The Deeds of King Vikrama). The wise king, King Vikrama Aditya, is given a throne (lion throne) decorated with 32 female statues by the god Indra (Taishra). After the king is killed in battle, King Bhoja of Dara discovers the throne and tries to sit on it, but one of the female statues tells him, "You must not sit on the throne unless you have the same courage as King Vikrama," and tells the story of King Vikrama's courageous deeds.
