Description
Sir Edwin Arnold's 1861 English translation the Sanskrit Hitopadesa.
Hitopadesha is an Indian text in the Sanskrit language consisting of fables with both animal and human characters.
It incorporates maxims, worldly wisdom and advice on political affairs in simple, elegant language.
The surviving text is believed to be from the 12th-century, but was probably composed by Narayana between 800 and 950 CE.
The oldest manuscript found in Nepal has been dated to the 14th century, and its content and style has been traced to the ancient Sanskrit treatises called the Panchatantra from much earlier.
