 Bodhisattva\, and that it contains narrative elements from the Buddha biog
 raphy. The oldest version of the story is preserved in Arabic\, and the st
 ory was adopted in different hagiographic traditions and different Europpe
 an languages like Greek\, Latin\, Georgian\, Ethiopic\, Hebrew\, Slavonic\
