Ilustration Supposing Books Panchatantra
Panchatantra, is perhaps the oldest collection of Indian Fables still surviving. It is written around 200BC by the great Hindu Scholar Pandit Vishnu Sharma. Panchatantra means "the five books". It is a "Nitishastra" which means book of wise conduct in life. The book is written in the form of simple stories and each story has a moral and philosophical theme which has stood the test of time in modern age of atomic fear and madness. It guides us to attain success in life by understanding human nature. Panchatantra is commonly available in an abridged form written for children. Here is the complete translation of the book as written by Vishnu Sharma.Rating Epithetical Books Panchatantra

Without spoiling anything, the work consists of five ''books'' that are narrations by a wise man (Visnusárman), trying to educate three young stupid princes in the art of governance and general social conduct. The stories are riddled with their own sub-stories and fables, making it a very diverse read.Basically, at any given point, you could be reading a story about a Brahmin and his Mongoose, which a snake is
It has been a while since I've read this, but only now am I taking the time to review it. Panchatantra, credited to Vishnu Sharma, is a very comprehensive book on correct Indian practices during the 3rd century BCE through mostly fables. One of the best parts of this book is the sort of matryoshka-ish storytelling that delves deeper into itself while explaining those practices and really immerses the reader into an interesting experience of learning. Besides that, another interesting aspect of
This book is perhaps the greatest self-help / practical wisdom book that I've ever come across. Before I get to the book, I must express my sincere homage to the translator. Hats off to Arthur W Ryder for producing this masterful English translation of the ancient Indian text. He has been as true to the original Sanskrit version, as is humanly possible. Especially commendable is the great care he took to translate the Sanskrit verses (in addition to the prose) to English counterparts (quite
Wonderful stories that gives insights when you read it again and again. Every story can be interpreted in different ways according to your exposure, thought processes and wisdom. Deep values but simple narration..
