In the 6th century, Borzuy, the personal physician of the Persian emperor came to India looking for the “Mritasanjeevini”, the mystical herb that could revive a corpse. He did not find the herb but found the `Panchatantra' instead. And reading it, realised that the magical herb was Knowledge and the corpse was Ignorance.
Not surprisingly, the running theme of the `Panchatantra' is "Knowledge is the true organ of sight, not the eyes" and is a practical guide to ‘Niti’, or the art of intelligent living. The original Sanskrit composition which is attributed to ‘Vishnu Sharma’, is written in the form of simple animal fable sand each story has a moral and philosophical theme which has stood the test of time in modern age of atomic fear and madness. Tales of greed, treachery, stupidity, deceit, adultery and loyalty, unravel like a matroshka, a succession of Russian dolls-within-dolls.
