Narayan Pandit (Hindi: नारायण पण्डित), or Narayana, was the Brahmin author of the ''Sanskrit'' treatise called ''Hitopadesha'' — a work based primarily on the ''Panchatantra'', one of the oldest collection of stories, mainly animal fables, in the world. Narayana's dates are not known, but scholarly consensus places the composition of the ''Hitopadesha'' at around 800 to 950 CE.〔Haksar 1998, p x.〕 The last lines of the book indicate the name of the author as Narayan Pandit: नारायणेन प्रचरतु रचितः संग्रहोsयं कथानाम् Narayan Pandit was the royal poet of Dhawalchandra, the king of Bengal.〔(Information about Narayan Pandit ) (in Hindi)〕 The beginning and ending shlokas of the book indicate the deep faith of Narayan Pandit in lord Shiva. ==See also== *Vishnu Sharma *Indian writers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Narayan Pandit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
