Answer:
The Jātaka tales are a voluminous body of literature native to India concerning the previous births of Gautama Buddha in both human and animal form. The future Buddha may appear as a king, an outcast, a god, an elephant—but, in whatever form, he exhibits some virtue that the tale thereby inculcates.

Answer:
The stories of Buddha's birth and his previous lives are continued in the Jatakas. His teachings were later collected in the Tripitakas or the three baskets. These were written in Pali.
