Pāli text: Mahāsaṅgīti Tipiṭaka Buddhavasse 2500 (M.L. Maniratana Bunnag Dhamma Society Fund), as published by SuttaCentral. Public domain. · Source ↗

Pāli text: Mahāsaṅgīti Tipiṭaka, via SuttaCentral. Public domain. The canonical Jātaka is the verses only; each verse is shown with the English stanza that translates it where the stanzas could be matched one to one, and after the English story otherwise.

The Cambridge translation edited by E. B. Cowell (1895–1907), read from scans of the printed volumes. Like other translators of the time, they put a few passages into Latin. A handful of Pāli names with diacritics may appear garbled.

The Jātaka, or Stories of the Buddha's Former Births, translated from the Pāli by various hands under the editorship of E. B. Cowell, 6 vols. (Cambridge University Press, 1895–1907). Public domain. Text read from scans in the Internet Archive (Smithsonian Libraries, Cornell University Library, University of California Libraries and others). · Source ↗
