PANCHATHANDRAM - Part A

Panchatantra is a nitisastra, a treatise on political science and human conduct, or niti. It was written around 200 BCE by Pandit Vishnu Sarma, a sage. However, based as it is on older oral traditions, its antecedents among storytellers probably hark back to the origins of language. One of the most influential Sanskrit contributions to world literature, it is “certainly the most frequently translated literary product of India” and there are over 200 versions in more than 50 languages. It contains five sections such as Mitra Bhedha (The Loss of Friends), Mitra Laabha (Gaining Friends), Kakolukiyam (Crows and Owls), Labdhapranasam (Loss Of Gains) and Aparikshitakarakam (Un thoughtful Action). last section includes five stories, in which kshapanaka katha and brahmani nakula katha are delt with its moral and application for a physician.
