Acharya Vishnu Sharma

Acharya Vishnu Sharma is the author traditionally credited with composing the Panchatantra, an ancient Sanskrit collection of interrelated animal fables organised within a frame narrative. Ancient accounts place him in the third century BCE, though the exact date of composition remains debated. The Panchatantra was originally conceived to teach the principles of statecraft and wise conduct; it is among the most widely translated non-religious books in history, with versions in many languages across Asia and Europe. सम्पूर्ण पञ्चतन्त्र: Sampoorna Panchtantra is published by Vani Prakashan.
