Abstract
Panch Tantra or Kalila and Demaneh among the masterpieces of mystical and philosophical wisdom of ancient Indian literature with the excellent translation of Nasrullah Manshi from the 6th century of Hijri in the literature of Persian language and literature with the discourse of education and ethics has been noticed by many thinkers of Iran including Rumi. It is because the rich Persian and Sanskrit languages of the land of Iran and India have long been the cradle of mystical and philosophical thoughts, meditations and enlightened wisdom. The author of this research aims to investigate and criticize the allegorical discourse using the method of comparative content analysis. First, the allegories of the Jackal in Panch Tantra and Masnavi Manavi were extracted and analyzed, and then a comparison was made between these two works. The main sources include authentic versions of the Panch Tantras in Sanskrit and Masnavi, as well as articles and books related to the analysis of comparative literature. This research shows that jackal allegories are used in both works as an effective tool to convey mystical and philosophical concepts. By using these parables, Rumi has been able to express mystical teachings in a story-like and understandable language for general and special audiences. The comparative analysis of these two works clarifies how the Sanskrit language and classical literature of India had a deep impact on Persian literature and the mystical thought of Rumi. The findings of this research show that Rumi deepened mystical and philosophical concepts by using allegories of the jackal and other animals. It is to express Ishrakhi wisdom in a sweet and story-like language. This method has made general and special audiences easily communicate with these concepts and benefit from mystical teachings.
