Origin & History
Source: Panchatantra (Subhashita)
Author: Vishnu Sharma (traditional author of the Panchatantra)
The Panchatantra teaches niti and worldly wisdom through animal fables. This verse uses the figure of the lion, the natural king of the forest, to argue that sovereignty and greatness are not conferred by ceremony but earned by valour. It has become one of the most quoted Sanskrit maxims on merit and the self-made rise to leadership.
