Hitopodesha Book 1 Index

This is the index of the first book of Hitopadesha.

This contains the posts related to Book 1 and as well as the Introductory posts. 

A 3×3 painting showing scenes from stories from Book 1 of Hitopadesha. The scenes include pigeons escaping a hunter’s net ; a tiger tempting a traveller with a golden bracelet near a swamp; a jackal misleading a young deer while a crow watches from a tree; a blind vulture deceived by a praying cat beneath bird nests; a wealthy mouse king surrounded by grain and coins while mendicants observe; a young woman embracing her elderly husband while another man escapes from a rear window; a dead hunter, wounded boar, serpent, and greedy jackal in a forest clearing; a prince and merchant’s wife silently exchanging glances on a road while guards remain unaware; and an elephant trapped in mud while a jackal watches triumphantly. The artwork uses bold black outlines, flat earthy colours, stylized foliage, and the visual language of traditional Bengal pata painting.
