King Jie Ri believed in the Hindu Shiva sect (S/iva), but also adopted supportive policies for other religions. He built many pagodas and garam to support Buddhist monks. Every five years, the Uncovered Conference is held to encourage religious and academic exchanges among various denominations.

During the Chinese Xuanzang’s visit to India, it was during the reign of King Jie Ri, and he was very courteous. King Jie Ri rewarded literature and art, and supported a group of famous literati in the court. He is also a literary biographer himself.

In addition, his works “Eight Great Spiritual Pagodas, Brahma Chan” and “Ye Chao Chan” show strong Buddhist taste. Because of King Jieri’s support for Buddhism, Buddhists regard him as a Dharma protector with the same reputation as King Ashoka and Kagaseka.

Three major scripts

King Jieri was both civil and military, not only able to lead troops to fight, but also good at writing poems and dramas. There are three scripts handed down by King Jieri: “Love”, “Yingluo” and “Longxi Ji”.

“Love” is based on a collection of Indian folklore stories. The script is divided into four acts, and the main plot is as follows: the king and the beautiful maid next to the queen fell in love at first sight, which caused the queen’s jealousy, and the maid was abused by the queen. Later the truth came out, the maid was not only an auspicious princess, whoever married her could become the ruler of the earth, but also the queen’s niece. In the end, the king and the princess were married, and the queen and everyone were very happy.

In “The Story of Yingluo”, King Jieri sees his wish that “the gods will unite, coexist with the world, and benefit mankind”, expressing his desire for the union of kingdoms, and reflecting King Jieri’s pursuit of unity.

“Long Xi Ji” is a five-act play, which is based on the story of Yuncheng in the Indian story collection “Story Guang Ji” and the now-lost Buddhist scripture “Life with the Ming Dynasty”. The protagonist in the play is also a king, and King Jie Ri praised the noble character of self-sacrifice in this play. The first three scenes describe the love and marriage of Prince Yuncheng of the Ming Dynasty and the princess of Xituo Kingdom.

The last two scenes describe Prince Yuncheng’s compassionate heart. In order to save the lives of others, he sacrificed the love he had just received, fed the Dapeng bird with his own body, and was later rescued by the Goddess of Gao Li. It is a play that mixes Buddhist and Hindu teachings. In the opening prayer of the play, King Jieri reveres Buddha as the primary god, which is very rare in ancient Sanskrit plays in India.

His inclusion of the Buddha among the Hindu gods not only showed a desire for religious unity, but also reflected the fusion of Hinduism and Buddhism in his time. There are Tibetan and Chinese versions of the play in China.
