جزییات کتاب
To assure the accuracy of this new version of Aryashura's work, we have carefully compared it to the Tibetan text of the Jatakamala as it appears in the Nyingma Edition of the sDe-dge bsTan-'gyur. Translated from the Sanskrit in the eighth century by Vidyakarasimha and the Tibetan lotsawa Manjushrivarman, the Tibetan version is very close to the Sanskrit text used by Speyer, except that in isolated passages its meaning appears to be clearer. We are satisfied that the resulting text presented here is generally faithful to Aryashura's original work. Still, there remain difficult passages, and further study and research into the existing manuscripts of the Jatakamala by qualified scholars may lead to revisions in future editions.
