Description

The Jātakamālāṭīkā (Skt. जातकमालटीका; Tib. Skyes pa'i rabs kyi rgya cher bshad pa, "An Extensive Commentary on 'The Garland of Previous Lives'") is a commentary on Āryaśūra's Jātakamālā by Dharmakīrti—likely to be identified with Suvarṇadvīpa Dharmakīrti, principal teacher of Atiśa Dīpaṃkaraśrījñāna—translated by T. Janārdana and Śākya Blo gros. It is preserved in the Derge Tengyur (D 4151, vol. hu, folios 135b1–340a7), as well as in the Peking (Q 5651) and Narthang (N 4418) editions. The commentary proceeds through the Jātakamālā as a running, phrase-by-phrase explanation, taking up individual words and expressions in sequence throughout the thirty-four jātakas.
