I take this as a great privilege to present the novel on Queen Naganika, of Andhra Satavahana Empire, her munificent personality. I do not know where that great soul exists, with utmost benevolence and obeisance I bow at her lotus feet.
What is theme?

This Yaga involves sacrifice of a best male horse to sacred fire.In that Yaga Andhra Satavahana emperor Satakarni had to boon all his wealth and kingdom including Chief Queen Naganica.
In the general practice, the priests return the boon of kingdom and Queen for a gold coin or some cattle.Contrary to the practice, the priest refused to return the queen and wanted to retain her. A great catastrophic erotic situation arose in the yaga and the reader shall have curiosity and suspense how that riddle solved.This Aryan Ritual of Horse Sacrifice has deep historical backing and ancient culture not known to present generations.
