One of Premanand's most popular works, it retells the story of the mythical Hindu king Nala and his queen Damayanti. Through the machinations of Kali, an embodiment of the forces of evil, Nala and Damayanti are sent into exile, separated, and each subjected to a series of trials and reversals. Finally, when with Kali departs, they are reunited and restored to their former happiness.

Finally, when with Kali departs, they are reunited and restored to their former happiness. Although the plot is largely based on the Nalopakhyana in the Mahabharata, Premanand adds several episodes of his own invention. The main theme of Nalakhyan is pathos, and the work reflects the Hindu ideal of married life.
