The original text of the Panchatantra in Sanskrit was probably written about 200 B.C. by a great Hindu scholar, Pandit Vishnu Sharma. But some of the tales themselves must be much older, their origin going back to the period of the Vedas and the Upanishads (1500 B.C. to 500 B.C.). In course of time, travelers took these stories with them to Persia and Arabia and finally through Greece, they reached Europe. So far it has been translated into 50 or more languages of the world.
The Panchatantra is woven round the frame of a tale of a king who entrusts his three dull sons to a learned man, a Brahmin, called Pandit Vishnu Sharma, to enlighten their minds within six months. The Brahmin promises to educate them and takes them to his ?asharama? (hermitage). There he recites to them his specially composed tales divided into five tantras (in Sanskrit ?pancha? means five and ?tantra? means systems or parts) on how to deal with people in life.
