In this work, the betala tells the protagonist, a king, about 25 stories with riddles, and at the end of each story he asks the king a question, to which the king answers. There are many extant versions, but the work of the 11th century Kashmiri poet Somadeva is considered to be the most literary. This work was circulated both inside and outside India and had a great influence. [From Brihat Kathar]...It is said to have been composed of 100,000 verses and written in the slang language Paisācī, and was a collection of tales based on the marriage of King Udayana of the Vatsa Kingdom and the adventures of the prince Narabhanadatta. The original has been lost and no longer exists, but several Sanskrit abridged versions have been handed down. The most famous of these is the Kathāsaritsāgara by Somadeva (11th century), which consists of 18 volumes of beautiful Sanskrit verse with 21,388 verses and contains 350 interesting stories. The Jain Saṅgadāsagaṇin's Vasudevahiṇḍi, written in the Prakrit language (colloquial) Maharashtri, is considered to be a Jainized version of the Brihat-Katha, and is considered to play a major role in exploring its original form. *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Somadeva" are listed below.
