Translation
Hitopadesha (The Book of Good Counsels)हितोपदेशः
By Nārāyaṇa. Translated by Sir Edwin Arnold, 1861. Public domain.
A 12th-century Sanskrit retelling and condensation of the Panchatantra, organised in four books — winning friends, parting friends, war, and peace. Composed by Nārāyaṇa, probably for a Bengal prince, and widely used as a primer for young royalty in pre-modern India. Arnold's prose-and-verse translation is the most widely-read English public-domain version.
