Title Dharmadattacaritranāṭaka

Remarks An alternative title is Dharmadattopākhyānanāṭaka

Author Kṛṣṇānanda

Subject Nāṭaka

Language Maithilī, Newari

This nāṭaka, commissioned by Bhūpālendra Malla (AD1687-1700 ), king of Kathmandu seems to be new one. There is no record of this nāṭaka and its author Kṛṣṇānanda in New Catalogus Catalogorum by K.Kunjunni Raja, in which 54 Kṛṣṇānanda-s and one Dharmadattacaritra ( composed in AD 1425) by Dayāsāgarasūri are mentioned. However there is no mention of both of nāṭaka and its author in Theodor Aufrecht (1962).

Chapter 162 Nepālamāhātmye vāgmatīmāhātmyam ( pp.302-306)

Chapter 163 Nepālamāhātmye vaiśālādhipasatyavati praveśa ( pp.306-310 )

Chapter 164 Nepālamāhātmye dharmadattaśivalokagamanam (pp.310-314 )
