	World Lit: Frametales (F2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Both the Hitopadesha and the Panchatantra were written in Sanskrit, which is a language of ancient India that is the ancestor of the modern language called Hindi which is spoken by many people in India today.
		What is different about the Hitopadesha is that it is the first example we have this semester of an overarching frametale that includes all the stories in the collection, wrapping them up inside one big story.
		Since the purpose of the Hitopadesha is to educate these young boys, it is another example of "didactic" literature, like the Buddhist jataka tales and the parables that you read in previous weeks.

		The main purpose of producing this great work, as proclaimed by the author in the preface, was to educate the young with the help of interesting stories in the science of ethics and political philosophy and to make them capable of facing challenges which are most common especially at the adolescent stage.
		Although Narayana Pandit, the author of Hitopadesha, drew inspiration from various ethical works but a big chunk of its material was adapted from Panchatantra, the oldest anthology containing the stories of birds and animals.
		With a view to achieve this object, Vishnu Sharma wrote Hitopadesha, a gateway to the science of morality, to be taught to his privileged pupils so that he could make them the worthy sons of their worthy father.

		The ancient tradition of teaching the children with the help of the stories of Panchantra and Hitopadesha, etc, and the elders by those of Ramayana and Bhagawat, etc, on these lines, has continued till date with obvious changes in the modes of presentations and plots of the stories…..

	An Epitome of Aryan Morals
		Remember there is an exceedingly wide difference between our mortal body and virtue; the former falls asunder in a moment, while the latter remains to the end of the Kalpa.’ - Manu, vii, 46; Hitopadesha, i, 177, 43, 49.
		And bearing in mind that life must be as dear to all living creatures as it is to thee, thou shouldst in all thine actions compare thyself to others and then try to do what is best.
		Therefore, one should perform the appointed functions; for action is preferable to inaction; and the journey of mortal frame will not succeed from inaction.” - Hitopadesha, 31; Bhagavad-Gîtâ, ii, 47; iii, 8.”But the action must be passionless.’ - ibid.

		We can even find a philosophical root to this attitude, if we consider that Shankara states openly that writing belongs to the sphere of falseness, while sound alone belongs to the sphere of truth.
		With the developing of Orientalism, Sanskrit culture spread in Europe, and very soon not only the Vedas, the Upanishads and other “high” religious text were well known, but also the Panchatantra and Hitopadesha, both ancient collections of tales.
		Glottological studies demonstrated the link among Indo-European languages; the development of comparative mythology and comparative religion, as well as of anthropology in a later period, further promoted the study of folktales.

		There is no dearth of ideas, but the acumen to implement them seems to be in short supply.

		But I sincerely doubt such thought, as even Ramana Maharishi took in quite a few foreign disciples and even Chandrashekara Saraswati didn't think so.
		And as in Hitopadesha, Hunger, sleep, fear and sex are common between man and animal.
		But man differs from the animal by possessing the faculty of discrimination, the ability to tell the right from the wrong.
