It is possible that the influence of the "Panchatantra" is via a Sanskrit adaptation called the "Tantropakhyana". Only fragments of the original Sanskrit form of this work exist, but translations or adaptations exist in Tamil, Lao, Thai and Old Javanese. The frame story is particularly interesting, as it follows the broad outline of a concubine telling stories in order to maintain the interest and favour of a king—although the basis of the collection of stories is from the "Panchatantra"—with its original Indian setting.
