In the Paññāsa-Jātaka transmitted in central Thailand, there are as many as eight stories of self-sacrifice (ajjhattika-dāna), where a bodhisatta declares that he carries out his self-sacrifice not to get the achievement of a sāvaka or paccekabuddha but to attain omniscience. It is said that this declaration seems to be influenced by Mahāyānistic ideal of Bodhisattva. Based on our recent studies on Pāli palm leaf manuscripts of the Paññāsa-Jātaka, this paper investigates this type of declarations. Further, similar declarations in parallel stories in jātaka collections in Sri Lanka and Myammar, as well as declarations in related accounts in the Pāli Nikāyas and their commentaries are examined.
