The Illustrated Jataka & Other Stories of the Buddha by C.B. Varma

According to the Pali Jatakas Sariputta was born as Krishna (Kanha) in one of his births. Furthermore, his characters in the Jatakas are numerous. He died a fortnight before Moggallana’s death.

Note: It is noteworthy that in the Pali tradition Sariputta was born as Kanha (Krishna) in one of his births (contrary to the belief that the Bodhisatta was born as Krishna). The Bodhisatta was, however, born as a great sage Kanha Dipayana during those days, and it was due to his curse that the lineage of the Vasudeva was eventually destroyed. See Ghata Jataka No.454. As a second Kanha he was born as a great ascetic with the name Kanha Tapassa (Kanha Jataka No.440).

Further, it is interesting to note that the Pali tradition, too, admits that the Buddha was once born as a great monarch with the name Rama Pandita in one of his births and had lived for twenty-thousand years.
