Jatakamala

 

The Jatakamala is a renowned piece of literature in the sacred Buddhist and classical Sanskrit traditions. It is a compilation of thirty-four stories that recount the past lives of the Buddha and the virtuous deeds he performed in various incarnations as a god, human, and animal. Originally written in sophisticated Sanskrit prose and verse in the fourth century A.D., these tales were later translated into Chinese and Tibetan. Many of them are depicted in the famous Ajanta cave paintings. Each story presents a colorful background, ranging from a voyage at sea to a battle scene, a forest fire, a royal hunt, or even the perils of hell. Despite being popular throughout the centuries, they remain highly enjoyable to read today for their timeless message of compassion and harmony, and the vivid and dramatic imagery in which it is conveyed. Furthermore, twelve of these tales are exclusive to this collection and cannot be found in any other works, including the Pali Jataka texts. Arya Shura, the writer
