Summary: The Jātaka ("Birth Stories") is the tenth book of the khuddaka nikaya. In the local corpus it is currently available as a raw BJT Pali/Sinhala source reader, preserving the native tipitaka.lk page-entry segmentation rather than a fully edited wiki text rendering.
Overview
The Jātaka is a Khuddaka collection associated with stories of earlier births of the Buddha-to-be. In practical use it is a large narrative source family, and this local wiki currently treats it conservatively at source level rather than as normalized story-by-story pages.
This page is an overview page only. The raw BJT Pali source and Sinhala translation have been ingested and reviewed, but full story-level rendering, normalized internal divisions, and supporting pages are deferred.
Source reader
The current raw reader uses BJT page-entry identifiers. The BJT Pali and Sinhala native entry counts do not align perfectly in this extract, so the parallel reader uses a union of segment identifiers and displays explicit missing-edition placeholders where one side has no matching row.
Structure
At this overview stage the local wiki treats the Jātaka as one source-level Khuddaka unit. Per-story pages, detailed structural normalization, and supporting extraction are intentionally deferred to later reviewed batches.
Textual status
This page is backed by the reviewed raw-only Tipitaka.lk Stage 1 ingest for Jātaka. The raw ingest contains 7731 BJT Pali rows and 7679 BJT Sinhala rows; this mismatch is recorded as a source-alignment fact and no strict bilingual alignment is claimed. Sinhala translation republication status remains pending verification.
