Panchatantra Quotes


An ancient Indian collection of animal fables in verse and prose, in a frame story format.
The Panchatantra is an ancient Indian collection of animal fables in verse and prose, in a frame story format. The original Sanskrit work, which some scholars believe was composed in the 3rd century BCE, is attributed to Vishnu Sharma. However, it is based on older oral traditions, including "animal fables that are as old as we are able to imagine". It is "certainly the most frequently translated literary product of India", and these stories are among the most widely known in the world. 

Here are some famous quotes by  Panchatantra.




All fortune belongs to him who has a contented mind.
