In the Milindapañha two or three Jātakas are mentioned, which cannot be traced in the collection; in the Dhammapada commentary, too, as well as in the Buddhist Sanskrit texts, there are some Jātakas which are absent in the collection. See also L. \*Feer\*, JA ser. 7, t. V, 1874, 417 ff.; VI, 1875, 244 ff. It is probable, though not yet proved, "that a Book of Jātakas, as contained in the Pāli Canon was not the exclusive possession of this particular school, but belonged to ancient Buddhism in general" (\*Oldenberg\*, NGGW 1912, p. 195). - [Previous: v2.c19.s3.t2.172](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.172) - [Next: v2.c19.s3.t2.174](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.174) - [Up: v2.c19.s3.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2) ## Cites (2) - [Milindapañha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.milindapanha) — Pāli - [Majjhimanikāya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.majjhima) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.173](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.173) · Pramāṇa
