The four Gujarati stories have been added, because they come from different part of India, they are still folk tales and belong to the same category as the Sind tales.

To give God fill possession of it, Satan sacrificed himself and rebelled, although he knew that he would thereafter ne punished eternally. Beginning with an invocation in favour of Satan, this book is a reprint of the 1924 edition.
