¹ Ed. Peterson, Bombay, 1887. In the prologue to the Hitopadeśa Viṣṇuśarman undertakes to make the three uneducated princes masters of the science of ‘conduct’ in six months. Prastāvanā, pp. 2–5. The last two sections are devoted to peace and war between the Geese and Peacocks but the precepts are intended for wider application. An edition of the Hitopadeśa was published by Colebrooke at Calcutta as early as 1804.
