Description

The Panchatantra is one of the oldest surviving set of tales from the Indian subcontinent. Compiled by Pandit Vishnusharma to educate and enlighten the foolish and dimwitted sons of the King Amarashakti, the Panchatantra contains many tales of wisdom, written in the manner of tales within tales. Written as early as in the third century B.C, the Panchatantra is popular even today among both children and adults for the wisdom it imparts as well as its humor and wit.Pandit Vishnusharma is said to have divided the tales into five (pancha) sections, each one dealing with ways and strategies (tantras) to live and prosper in the world.
