of folklore and literary productions ,in this country until recent times, and influenced not in the least the life of the people.

the more important. They are called collectively “Thotsachat" (Pali – dasa Jati) or “The Ten Births”, a name peculiar only to Thai Buddhism. The last one called “Wetsandon Chadok” ( Vessantara Jataka ) is the most important. It is called Maha Chat.
