Five Polity Paths in English Rhyme: Panchtantra

Panchtantra written in 3rd century,

By Pundit Vishnu Sarma initially;

Based on oral Sanskrit versions be,

Going to origins of language surely;

A literary text of India is certainly;

With over 200 versions universally,

On political science, conduct be;

Written as stories to instruct only,

Three dull ignorant princes in polity;

Based on Dharma, Artha shastra be,
