The mice that set the Elephants free

Arthur William Ryder• He was a professor of Sanskrit at the University of California,

Berkeley. He is best known for translating a number of Sanskritworks into English, including the Panchathanthra and the BhagavadGita. In the words of G. R. Noyes

• Taken as a whole, Ryder's work as a translator is probably the finestever accomplished by an American. It is also probably the finestbody of translation from the Sanskrit ever accomplished by oneman, if translation be regarded as a branch of literary art, notmerely as a faithful rendering of the meaning of the original text.

Into this scene came an elephant king whose retinue numbered thousands. He, with his herd had started you the lake in search of water. Is they marched through the mouse community, the elephants crushed the faces, eyes heads and necks of many.
