In this paper, some genre peculiarities of two Buddhist poems with the same title, Jātakastava, are analyzed. They both contain eulogies on the virtuous deeds performed by the Buddha in his previous lives. Comparing these poems allows us to discover a number of common formal characteristics in them. It is helpful in our examination to note that the same formal characteristics can be revealed in many poems within as well as outside of the Buddhist literary tradition. Turning to non-Buddhist texts helps in attaining some insightful information concerning the history of the poetical form under consideration.
Comparative analysis reveals that this poetical form was not invented inside the Buddhist literary tradition. Rather, the authors of the two extant Jātakastavas incorporated the poetical form known from at least the times of Ṛgveda as a literary tool in glorifying the past lives of the Buddha.
