The article features Sanskrit collections of jātakas - literary reworking of ancient legends about past lives of Buddha. Work subject is the Sanskrit "Garland of Jātakas" by Haribhaṭṭa (IV-V AD), a follower of Ārya Śūra (III-IV AD). The aim was to study its features, including artistic variation of canonical themes. Сomparative-historical method was used. Different arrangement of same plot links in two jātakas confirms that Haribhaṭṭa belonged to the tradition of court Sanskrit literature (kāvya), characterized by such variation. Haribhaṭṭa and Ārya Śūra are shown to have different approaches to variation. Inclusion of stories similar in name and plot outlines is treated as a sign of authors' belonging to the era of traditionalist artistic consciousness. Consequently, the initial idea that Haribhaṭṭa
combines in his work the aesthetics of identity with artistic variation was confirmed. Some interesting observations were made comparing his collection with previous tradition.
