                                   Answer»  Vishnusharma is an Indian scholar and author who is believed to have written the ‘Panchatantra’ collection of fables. The exact period of the composition of Panchatantra is uncertain, and estimates vary from 1200 BCE to 300 CE. Some scholars place him in the 3rd century BCE. Vishnusharma is one of the most widely translated non-religious authors in history. Panchatantra was translated into Arabic Pahlavi in 570 CE by Borzuya and into Arabic in 750 CE by persian scholar Abdullah Ion – Muqaffa as ‘Kalilah Wa Umnah’. The prelude to the Panchatantra identified Vishnusharma as the author of the work. Since there is no other independent external evidence about him. It’s impossible to say whether he was the historical author or is himself a literary invention. Based on analysis of geographical features and animals described in the stories Kashmir is suggested to be his birthplace by various scholars.  |
