Folklore of India — The Panchatantra is dated to the second century BC, but scholarly consensus places its composition around the 3rd–4th century CE.
Folklore of India — Odiyan is described as a half-man, half-beast creature that could transform into animals, but in Kerala folklore, Odiyan is specifically a human with magical powers to transform into animals, not a half-man, half-beast creature.
Alha-Khand — The claim that the most popular printed version was written by Lalitaprasad Mishra in 1900 CE is incorrect; it was compiled and published by him in 1901 CE based on oral recitations, not originally written by him.
The Ass in the Lion's Skin — The entry states that the Indian variant is the Sihacamma Jataka, but the correct title is Sihacamma Jataka (or Sīhacamma Jātaka), and it is a Buddhist Jataka tale, not a general 'Indian folklore' variant; the entry's truncated text 'Buddhist scri' suggests it
The Ass in the Lion's Skin — The entry claims that C. S. Lewis used the fable in the final volume of The Chronicles of Narnia, with Kathryn Lindskoog identifying the Avianus version as the source. This is a factual error: C. S. Lewis used the fable in *The Last Battle*, but the specific i
Baba Shivo — The entry states Baba Shivo is from the 13th–14th century, but no established canon places him or Raja Ladh Dev in that era; this date is unsupported.
Baba Shivo — The entry claims Raja Ladh Dev ruled Pattan and that remains of four palaces still stand there, but no widely-known canon confirms Ladh Dev as a historical ruler of Pattan or associates such palace remains with him.
Barlaam and Josaphat — The first Christianized adaptation was not the 10th-century Georgian epic Balavariani; the earliest known Christian adaptation is an 8th- or 9th-century Georgian translation from Arabic, often called the Balavariani, not a 10th-century epic.
Bharthari (king) — Bharthari is typically the younger brother, not the elder, of King Gandharva Sena
Bharthari (king) — In the widely known canon, Vikramaditya is the elder brother who becomes king, and Bharthari is the younger brother who renounces the throne
Blind men and an elephant — The earliest text is claimed to be Jain agams before 5th century BCE, but the earliest known written Jain agams date to around the 5th–6th century CE, not before 5th century BCE; the oral tradition may be older, but the claim of a written text before 5th centu
Blind men and an elephant — The Buddhist Tittha Sutta is dated to around c. 500 BCE during the lifetime of the Buddha, but the Buddha's lifetime is generally placed in the 5th–4th century BCE (c. 480–400 BCE), so a date of c. 500 BCE is plausible but not precisely established; more impor
Bṛhatkathāślokasaṃgraha — The claim that the work is 'unusually homogeneous, having suffered no intrusion of interpolation' is an overstatement not universally accepted; some scholars debate possible later additions or textual gaps.
Bṛhatkathāślokasaṃgraha — The claim that the third work is 'Brhatkathamanjari' is a misspelling; the correct name is Kṣemendra's Bṛhatkathāmañjarī.
