Avadanasataka

The Avadānaśataka or "Century of Noble Deeds (Avadāna)" is an anthology in Sanskrit of one hundred Buddhist legends, approximately dating to the same time as the Ashokavadana.^[1] Ratnamālāvadāna.^[2] The work may be from the Mulasarvastivada school.^[3]

It was copiled by a Buddhist monk from northwest India between the second and fourth centuries CE. The stories in this work may have worked as a prescription for appropriate behaviour.^[4]
