According to prefaces of Kalilah wa Dimnah, the Persian physician Borzuya journeyed to India in the mid-sixth century to search of medicine to revive the dead. He instead brought back the book of tales that became the famous Arabic work Kalilah wa Dimnah. Borzuya is variously transliterated as Burzoy or Burzoe (Middle-Persian transliteration), Barzawayh (Arabic transliteration), and Burzuya (neo-Persian transliteration). He connects Persian, Indian, and Arabic learning.
