A wide four-panel painting. The first panel shows pigeons trapped in a net escaping together with help from a crow, mouse, deer, and tortoise near a pond. The second panel depicts a lion and a white bull seated together while two jackals whisper manipulation behind them. The third panel shows opposing groups of swans and peacocks facing each other beside water with raised royal banners, suggesting growing conflict. The fourth panel portrays reconciliation, with human envoys above and crowned swan and peacock rulers below peacefully shaking hands near lotus-filled water.



I have decided to split the Hitopadesha index into 4 different parts based on the four books. 
Doing so will resolve any loading issues that may come up, when posts increase , in future. 

The links below will take you to the various books of Hitopadesha.
