About “Panchatantra”
The Panchatantra is an ancient Indian collection of animal fables written in Sanskrit, presented in both verse and prose. It is structured within a frame story, which ties the individual fables together. The author of the text is unknown, though it has been attributed to Vishnu Sharma in some versions and to Vasubhaga in others. These names may be fictitious. The Panchatantra is believed to be a Hindu text, drawing from older oral traditions that include stories of animals with moral lessons. Its origins are ancient, and its fables are thought to be as old as the culture itself. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
