We have deliberately dropped such stories from this section.Characters: Two storytellers, Beggar Man, Mouse, Man, Woman, Daughter, Wizard, Giant Turtle and Buddha. However, there are some Indian fables found in many story books and on the internet which are promoted as tales from the Panchatantra, but there are no evidence of the stories being contained in the original Panchatantra, or its recensions. Note that the above Panchatantra stories cover most of the original stories contained in the Panchatantra, and include those found in some of the popular recensions and adaptations.
