You have to read this book to know.'
author Bhuvanhari Sigdel said that when writing as a Buddha, as a Buddha character, one must enter inside. He added, 'This book is Buddha's autobiography.'

book was published by Shikha Books last August. Before this, Adhikari's 'Nirved' novel and 'Brahmastra' collection of stories have been published.
