Naráyanaâs best-seller gives its reader much more than âFriendly Advice.â In one handy collectionâclosely related to the world-famous Pañcatantra or Five Discourses on Worldly Wisdom ânumerous animal fables are interwoven with human stories, all designed to instruct wayward princes. Tales of canny procuresses compete with those of cunning crows and tigers. An intrusive ass is simply thrashed by his master, but the meddlesome monkey ends up with his testicles crushed. One prince manages to enjoy himself with a merchantâs wife with her husbandâs consent, while another is kicked out of paradise by a painted image. This volume also contains the compact version of King Víkramaâs Adventures, thirty-two popular tales about a generous emperor, told by thirty-two statuettes adorning his lion-throne.
