Pandit Vishnu Sharma found an ideal teaching tool in story- telling. He called his tales, the Panchatantra.

The asuras rejoiced as they played havoc with both men and gods. Maya, their gifted architect, had created for them three cities fortified with iron, silver and gold and the great lord Brahma himself had decreed that these cities would be indestructible, unless struck by a single arrow.
