Bhatkath (Sanskrit, "the Great Narrative") is an ancient Indian epic, said to have

been written by Guhya in a poorly-understood language known as Paic. The

work is no longer extant but several later adaptations the Kathasaritsagara,
Brihatkathamanjari and Bhatkathlokasagraha in Sanskrit, as well as the
Perukatai and Vasudevahii in vernaculars furnish tantalizing and often
contradictory clues to its nature.
