General notes
- Description
- "From the Sanscrit [titled "Puncha Tantra"] it appears to have been translated in the beginning of the 6t century, into Pehlevy, or ancient Persian, by Burzieh, a physician. From Pehlevy it was turned into Arabic, about the middle of the 8th centure, by Abd Allah Iben Almokuffa, a Persian who had been converted to the MOhammedan religion. From the Arabic it was translated, in the early part of the 12th century, into Persian, by Abu al Maaly Nasir Allah of Ghizne, from whence the version, a small portion of which is now submitted to the public, was made in the end of the 15th century by the celebrated scholar Hussein Vāiz Kāshify, who resided at the court of Sultan Hussein Abul Ghāzy Behadur, sovereign of Khorassan, and named Anvari Soohyly (Light of Canopus) in compliment to his patron Amyr Soohyly. It contains a very elegant preface, and fourteen chapters, each of which inculcates some moral lesson of system of politics"
