              Part of Papers of Daniel John Gogerly

              The manuscript is the final version of Gogerly's translation of the Kuśa jātaka. Translated around 1830-1860; most likely in Colombo or Negombo, Sri Lanka (Ceylon). From Sinhalese to English; the translation is 48 pages (the last 8 pages of the notebook are left blank). The translated selection of this jātaka contains the first 131 stanzas (gathas) of the original text (approx. 800 stanzas in total) and is written in Gogerly's hand. It also includes verses in Sinhalese. The basic outline of the Kuśa Jātaka offers a narrative about the bodhisattva born as the powerful but hideously ugly King Kuśa. He falls in love with the extraordinaly beautiful princess Prabhāvatī, and in this regard the story deals with his determined wooing of her despite her rejection of him as a suitor. The manuscript is slightly fragile. 20cmX15cm.

              Part of Papers of Daniel John Gogerly

              The series contains 6 of Gogerly's translations of different Jātaka stories. In Theravāda Buddhism, the jātakas (c. 4th century BCE) are a textual division of the Pāli Canon, included in the Khuḍḍaka Nikāya ('Minor Collection') of the Sutta Piṭaka - the second group of the Pāli collection of Buddhist writings. The term mainly refers to the stories of Gautama Buddha's previous lives, in both human and animal form. The Theravāda jātakas comprise about 547 poems, arranged roughly by increasing number of verses. They are written in a poetical form, the verses consisting of four to six lines, and are devided into chapters called nipātas.
