The story, written in 1737 narrates about an Indian prince who was robbed of his human body and lived in a bird's body until his death preaching the Teaching of Buddha to people and animals. As the author's contemporaries said, the creator of the tale since the age of 11 had been obsessed by visions and previous incarnations and described his past life as a prince in "the secret visionary biography". A wide range of critical and linguistic reviews of the work, indices of personal and geographical names and terms as well as facsimile of the text give a profound insight of this wonderful story.
