Hitopadesha How Friends are parted and other stories

The Hitopadesha is a collection of fables in Sanskrit. This work, attributed to Narayana (11th or 12th century, A.D.), is based on the more famous Panchatantra which was written by Vishnu Sharma more than a thousand years earlier.

Although Narayana is indebted to Vishnu Sharma for his plots, he has introduced eighteen stories which are not to be found in the other versions of the Panchatantra.

Narayana has divided his work into four sections: Mitralabha (Gaining Friends), Suhrudbheda (Causing Dissension Between Friends), Vigraha (Separation) and Sandhi (Union). The tales retold in this Amar Chitra Katha are taken from the Suhrudbheda.
