Shuka the Parrot
«Śukasaptati»
Manuscripts and Translations
The oldest known manuscript dates back to the 15th century CE.
Text History
The Sanskrit text of the collection is known in two recensions, which the German scholar Richard Schmidt dubbed in Latin textus simplicior («simple») and textus ornatior («ornamented»). The simple or early text is attributed to a certain Brahmin, Chintamani (Jewel of the Mind), while the ornate text belongs to a Jain of the Shvetambara sect («Those Dressed in Bright, White Garments»).
The simpler version is considered older. The names simplicior and ornatior were assigned to it by the German scholar Richard Schmidt.
Our translation, like Shiryaev’s, is based on the «simple» recension, believed to be the earlier one, dating back to the mid-first millennium.
