The Panchatantra is a collection of folktales and fables claimed to have been authored in Sanskrit over 2500 years ago by the famous Hindu Scholar Pandit Vishnu Sharma. It provides insight into human behaviour despite the fact that all the characters are from the animal realm. The precise date of the composition of the Panchatantra is unknown and ranges between 1200 BCE and 300 CE. Some researchers date him to the third century BCE.

The Panchatantra, originally written in Sanskrit, has been described as the best collection of the most widely known stories in the world.

Stories of Panchtantra were teachinhgs of a famous teacher,Vishnusharma. He created these interesting stories to teach three young princes of a kingdom. He taught them wise conduct through these simple stories which are loved by children even today.

Udhata is a musical donkey, who loves to sing. He wants his friend, the fox, to sing as well. Is he successful? A fun book for all children, whether musically inclined or not!

First recorded 1500 years ago, but taking its origins from a far earlier oral tradition, the Pancatantra is ascribed by legend to the celebrated, half-mythical teacher Visnu Sarma. Asked by a great king to awaken the dulled intelligence of his three idle sons, the aging Sarma is said to have composed the great work as a series of entertaining and edifying fables narrated by a wide range of humans and animals, and together intended to provide the young princes with vital guidance for life. Since first leaving India before AD 570, the Pancatantra has been widely translated and has influenced a cast number of works in India, the Arab world and Europe, including the Arabian Nights, the Canterbury Tales and the Fables of La Fontaine. Enduring and profound, it is among the earliest and most popular of all books of fables.
