| Abstract | The article examines domestication trends in Newar Buddhism by analyzing the deviant ending of a story about a prince called Bisvamtara. It explores how the Newar telling differs from the more mainstream versions that are well known in the Theravada world. The plot of the story of a generous prince called Vessantara is discussed. Examples of hagiographical text and performative context are cited to prove that the entanglement of literature and ritual in text and context is common in South Asia. |
