Arya Sura’s Jatakamala has been written in Sanskrit and translated into German, English and Hindi but is not compared with Pali-Jatakas. The present book is first of its kind which critically compares Sanskrit Jatakamala with Pali – Jatakas. Arya Sura wrote only thirty-four Jatakas in Sanskrit; out of this only four Jatakas are exclusively different from Pali-Jatakas.
The present volume briefly narrates Pali-Jatakas and compares them with Sanskrit Jatakamala. In order to get more explanatory information, Buddhaghosa’s Atthakathas and Dhammapalas Paramatthadipani have been carefully studied.
The present volume will be definitely useful to students and scholars of Sanskrit, Pali, Buddhism and Buddhist Studies.
