Pančatantra
The Panchatantra was conceived as a kind of manual for rulers, in which popular wisdom is combined with philosophy, psychology and politics, and all of this is presented in a simple and elegant style of superior literature.
There are few works in world literature that have gained such great fame as the Sanskrit classic, the Panchatantra. Written in the uniquely Indian form of a story within a story, the Panchatantra has been a source of education and entertainment from ancient times to the present day. Panchatantra, in translation, means "five books". In those five books, an educated Brahmin takes upon himself the task of teaching three foolish and uneducated princes through stories that represent the principles of worldly wisdom. The so-called "lessons" of these stories do not rely on morality; they celebrate prudent and practical wisdom in matters of life and government.
