Description:Thembavani is eminently comparable to other world classics in other languages like The Iliad, The Odyssey, The Ramayana, The Mahabharata, The Aeneid, and The Divine Comedy. In fact, Beschi wrote this epic to silence the local Tamil pundits that the foreigners who had come to preach a new religion in a strange language will never succeed in their endeavour.

There are 356 episodes that relate to births, deaths, journeys, wars, celebrations, happenings in the Netherworld, Hell, Heaven, etc.It contains philosophical and theological discussions on the nature of God, idolatry, rebirth, Fate, virtue, asceticism, etc.It has an abundance of historical, biblical and fictional characters like Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Joseph of O.T., Samson, David and Goliath, Nebuchadnezzar, Tobit and Tobias, John the Baptist, Herod, Kunnan, Navakan, Surami, etc.Its actions take place in several places like Bethlehem, Judea, Nazareth, Egypt, Heliopolis, Gaza, Jericho, Sinai, Beersheba, etc.Kings from the Holy Roman Empire (England, Ireland, Spain, Gaul, Prussia, Norway, Lusitania, Genoa, Etruria, Parthia, Cyprus, Paeonia,) come to Vienna at the invitation of Leopold I to install the statue of the hero of the epic (Joseph).
