The book, with its singularly beautiful writing, is one of the highlights of the early phase of Mughal painting.Three copies of the Anwar-i-Suhaili have been found. Two of them are in India and the third in a museum in London.In Waiz’s version of the first story, the bag of gold coins is stuffed into the mouth of a cow which is later killed. To avoid hurting the sentiments of a vast section of Indians, in our version we have shown a goat instead.

The two stories in this Amar Chitra Katha are adapted from Anwar-i-Suhaili, a Persian version of the Panchatantra, written by Hussain Ali Waiz. Born in the kingdom of Khurasan at the time of Sultan Hussain Mirza (1469 – 1506 A.D.), Waiz took the liberty of changing the names of characters, to give them a local interest.The stories from the Anwar-i-Suhaili were illustrated many times by eminent painters in the courts of Akbar and Jahangir.
