The whole collection " says Rhys Davids "form the most reliable the most complete and the most ancient colletion of folklore now extant in any literature in the world." The Jataka book is full of information on the daily habits customs and beliefs of the people and on every variety of the numerous questions as to their political economic and social conditions. [...] Soon the news of the extraordinars behaviour of the youth spread and for a few days he was the only talk of the town. [...] Sometimes the relations of the pupils and the inhabitants of the place sent presents to the teacher. [...] The residents also both to testify respect and to lisken to their talk used to call on the Wanderers when the latter stayed in or near a village— evidence both of the popularity of the Wanderers and cf the frequent interchange of opinion." ( Rhys Davids.) Then Conversational discussions of the Wanderers were open to every one. [...] The liquid quality of the song is suggested by the old and beautiful comparison of something heard to something seen the rhythm of sound and the rhythm cf movement.
