The Hitopadesa
Author: Narayana
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141907983
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Composed between 800 and 950 AD, Narayana's Hitopadesa is one of the best-known of all works in Sanskrit literature. A fascinating collection of fables, maxims and sayings in verse, it combines a wide variety of writings from earlier authors in one volume - a 'garden of pleasing stories' created to provide guidance, wisdom and political advice to the reader. With elegance and great humour, Narayana weaves a framework for the classic tales, here narrated by animals who quote from and reflect on stories from the Pancatantra and other traditional sources. At once an anthology of folk wisdom and an original and satirical work in its own right, the Hitopadesa has been deeply admired and widely read for more than a thousand years for its humorous and profound reflections on human lives, loves, follies and philosophies.

Hitopadesha: Choice Of Friends
Author: KAMALA CHANDRAKANT
Publisher: Amar Chitra Katha Pvt Ltd
ISBN: 8184820593
Category : Children's literature, Indic (English)
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Hitopadesha (Good Counsel) is an 11-12th century Sanskrit collection of stories in four chapters instead of five in the Panchatantra on which it is based. Each chapter contains a string of stories, one emerging from the other, with each designed to render counsel on ethical worldly-wise conduct. The characters are living beings including humans and animals in the wild. The latter too are endowed with the reason and emotions of human beings. Thereby they come to represent types of human nature and behavior and one can draw morals from the stories. In this collection, a tiger finds a gold bangle with which he allures a traveler to cross the river; stuck in mire, the greedy man falls easy prey to the tiger. In another story, a jackal feigns friendship with a deer who despite warnings from a wise crow joins the jackal and meets with a tragedy. An old blind vulture is offered shelter by birds in the hollow of a tree. He protects their fledglings. A cat pleads for living with them and the vulture agrees. The cat finishes the fledglings one by one and goes away. The birds suspecting the vulture kill him. Moral: Do not give shelter to the unknown. This collection is treasure house of such stories.

The Unhappy Tiger

Pages : 32
Book Description
When a frightened mouse comes to a sage for help, he turns it into a larger, stronger animal so it can look after itself. But that does not suffice and the creature finds that there is still much more to fear. What will the sage do? Pandit Vishnu Sharma wrote the Panchatantra between the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. Much later, in the 11th or 12th century AD, Narayana, the author of the Hitopadesha, drew upon the Panchatantra for his collection of fables. The Hitopadesha is divided into four books: Mitralabha (Gaining Friends), Suhrudbheda (Causing dissension between friends), Vigraha (Separation) and Sandhi (Union). Amar Chitra Katha brings five witty stories from the Hitopadesha. Each character in these stories becomes a vehicle of learning, either directly or indirectly.
