Seldom has a work had such world-wide success and been translated into so many languages as the Indian stories and animal fables known as the Panchatantra . In the sixth century of our era they were translated from Sanskrit into Pehlevi. Thence they passed into Arabic; and from the Arabic text, called by Muhammadans the Fables of Bidpai or the Book of Kalila wa Diṁna, were made all those different versions through which these stories were transmitted to the countries of Europe
