Śivadāsa
Śivadāsa was the author of one of the best-known versions of stories from the Vetālapañćavinśati or "Vetāla Tales"; a series of nīti-śāstras (tales of political ethics) involving the semi-legendary Indian king Vikramāditya.〔Published as ''The Five-and-Twenty Tales of the Genie'', translated and with an introduction by Chandra Rajan, Penguin Classics, 2007. ISBN 0-14-045519-1〕
==The Author==
Nothing is known about him for certain. The name is probably a nom-de-plume. Based on what may be inferred from his writing, he was a very well-educated courtier whose audience consisted of young men in the lower nobility with plenty of leisure time and a fondness for amusing stories involving warriors and courtesans. He may also have been an orator/actor who developed his stories through performance and only later wrote them down. He is believed to have lived somewhere between the twelfth to fourteenth centuries AD.
