Aryasura - Aryasura

A 6th-century Indian Buddhist poet, translated as Shoyu (Holy Bravery). A writer in the style of Ashvaghosha (Memyo), he is the author of the Sanskrit collection of Buddhist tales Jātakamālā . Translated into Chinese as Bodhisattva's Treatise on the Original Life of a Bodhisattva (some say it is a forgery), this is a collection of good deeds performed by the Buddha as a bodhisattva in a previous life, written in elegant prose and verse. Many of the tales are taken from the Pāli Jatakas, and the collection includes 34 stories from the original life of the Buddha.
