In this post there are links to 3 books on the Panchatantram by Vishnu Sarma.

1. Sanskrit commentary on Pancahtantra
2. Sanskrit text of Panchatantra with Hindi translation by JP Mishra
3. English translation of Panchatantra by AW Ryder

According to Indian tradition, the Panchatantra was written around 200 BCE by Pandit Vishnu Sarma, a sage. However, based as it is on older oral traditions, its antecedents among storytellers probably hark back to the origins of language. One of the most influential Sanskrit contributions to world literature, it is “certainly the most frequently translated literary product of India” and there are over 200 versions in more than 50 languages.

In the Indian tradition, the Panchatantra is a nitisastra, a treatise on political science and human conduct, or niti. It is said that Vishnu Sarma’s objective was to instruct three dull and ignorant princes in the principles of polity, by means of stories. Panchatantra consists of five books, which are called:

1. Mitra Bhedha (The Loss of Friends)
2. Mitra Laabha also called Mitra Samprapti (Gaining Friends)
3. Kakolukiyam (Crows and Owls)
4. Labdhapranasam (Loss Of Gains)
5. Aparikshitakaraka (Ill-Considered Action / Rash deeds)

    Dear sir,
    I wanted the pdf version of Panchatantra by Shivamangal Divedi published by Bhargava Publication. I have got a copy of that book(1932 edition) from my teacher. That is not in good condition. I even asked the publishers about the new print but failed to get the response.
    Could you do something in this respect as this is a wonderful book with a brilliant Hindi and Sanskrit commentry that is easy to follow.

      Sumod Acharya,

      The following 2 sites are the only known main sources of scanned books on Indology. You will some software/programme to download pdf files from the first site. In the second site, you can download books directly as pdf files.

      1. http://www.dli.gov.in/
      2. http://archive.org

      You will easily find Sanskrit texts, commentaries and English translation at the above sites. But, it will be very difficult to find Hindi translations. You will find a lot of information at http://sanskritdocuments.org/scannedbooks/

      I think Mobile phones are not yet fully compatible with Devanagari fonts. So, it would be good if you try using laptop or tablet for downloading Sanskrit books. Scanned pdfs of Sanskrit books are available at archive.org and scanned images (Tiff format) of Sanskrit books are available at Digital Library of India.
