HITOPADEŚA   A book written in Sanskrit on the basis of the Pañcatantra. It is a collection of fortythree stories, and twentyfive of the stories are found in the Pañcatantra. There is also not much difference in the stories, about the origin of the two books. The author of Hitopadeśa is considered to be one Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita, a dependant of King Dhavalacandra. Of the manuscripts available of the book, the oldest one is dated 1373 A.D. It has been surmised that the book was written somewhere between the 10th and 12th centuries A.D. There are four parts to the book called Mitralābha (gaining friends), Suhṛdbheda (creating dissensions between friends) Vigraha (separation) and Sandhi (union).
