The article contains introductory remarks on the Mongolian manuscript „The Tales of King Bikramijid and Kisna” (mong. Boγda Bikramiǰid qaγan Kisna qaγan qoyar-un üliger), from the collection of the Asia and Pacific Museum in Warsaw, cataloged under the number MAP 9025. The manuscript is unique, as it is probably the most comprehensive collection of Mongolian stories related to the Indian king Vikramaditya (Skt. Vikramāditya, Mong. Bikramiǰid). It seems that the creator of the manuscript wanted to collect in one work all three cycles of stories connected to the king Vikramaditya, i.e. the stories of Bikramijid, Arji Borji and Kisna. Other available manuscripts contain only one of these cycles or even a part of them. The article discusses the current state of research in the field as well as information on the Mongolian, Oirat and Tibetan manuscripts gathered in Western and Asian collections.
