- Abstract
- en_US I believe this is the most scholarly of the Jatakas texts I have. Davids describes on xvii the full jataka garb, much in evidence here. For Davids, the theme of these stories is man willing the better becomes the better (xix). This story collection is a treasury of teaching for the many. Much as I want to agree with her, I read the first thirty of the forty-seven (out of 550 total Jataka) tales here, and I just cannot go further. Of all the forms and translations in which I have read these tales, this is the most confusing. Perhaps it supposes so much that I do not know. I used a xerox of the T of C to take notes on those thirty, but sadly I found that the stories had become a chore.
