My grandmother always had a story ready for us just before bedtime. All her stories started with a simple 4 line song that goes "Kada Kadai Yam". It is the announcement that there is a story coming up and we as children should listen to the story, understand the reason and learn the message. Over the years, Indian folk tales seem to have lost the attention of kids among, Minecraft, Pokemon, and Bayblade. Kadakadayam is a simple project to re-ignite the joy of these forgotten simple stories from the Indian folklore.

Twenty Jataka Tales gathered into one book. The "Jataka Fables" (or "Jataka Tales") are Buddhist fables created for the use of teaching about the past lives of of the Buddha. Although the Buddha is righteous and generous, his previous Bodhisattvas (incarnations of the Buddha) weren't always like that, like in the case of the "Harita-Jataka" tale. I hope you enjoy, and I hope this will open your eyes to others who are oblivious to other beliefs and cultures.

Ṛṡyaśṛṅga guesses that his visitor Alambusā is a woman, a human dimorphic to himself. However, Alambusā dislikes to have a womanly body, preferring to be a man. Alambusa Ārśyaśṛṅgi is the name of a Rākṣasa warrior in Mahābhārata: Alambusa, son of Ṛśyaśṛṅga. My story of the conversation between his parents Alambusā and Ṛśyaśṛṅga builds upon details found in Mahābhārata and Alambusā-jātaka. Unlike other versions of Ṛśyaśṛṅga's story (Mahābhārata and Naḷinikā-jātaka) in which he is the principal character and his misgendering of a sensual woman with masculine and ascetic attributes is humourous, Alambusā-jātaka focusses on Alambusā's spirituality, humility, and extraordinary beauty that Ṛśyaśṛṅga mostly recognizes as feminine. My story inverts Alambusā's motives along with gender identity. The title is Pāḷi and means "Mixed Alambusā Wants Ṛśyaśṛṅga To Mix." Similar words are repeated in the verses of Alambusā-jātaka, but I have changed their inflection from feminine to masculine. The second chapter tells the story of the duel between Bhīma's son Ghaṭotkaca and Duryodhana's son Lakṣmaṇa. Cover credit: oye_nakhrewaali of India Forums
