The story of King Udayana and Princess Vasavadatta was very well known in ancient India. This popular story was re-echoed in Pali and Prakrit literature. In Dhamma-pada-atthakatha (5th century AD), on which the first story in this special issue is based, we get an elaborate account of the story of Vasavadatta and Udayana.
King Kusha and The Acrobat are stories included in the Pali canon.
Jataka tales are based on folklore, legends and ballads of ancient India. We cannot assign a definite date to the Jataka stories. Taking into account archaeological and literary evidence, it seems likely that they were compiled in the period third century B.C. to fifth century A.D. They give us invaluable information about ancient Indian civilization, culture, and philosophy.
The Jataka stories have been very popular in the Buddhist world. These stories have been translated into all the languages of the Buddhist countries, such as Chinese, Tibetan, Sinhalese, Siamese, Burmese, Japanese, and also in many modern European languages. These stories have encouraged painting and sculpture in ancient India and other Buddhist countries. Sanchi, Bharhut, Amaravati and Ajanta in India, Borobudur in Java, Pegan in Burma and Sukhodaya in Thailand bear testimony to the popularity of these tales.
