The Chariyā-Piṭaka is a term used in some Buddhist traditions, particularly in the Theravada tradition, to refer to a collection of texts that describe the exemplary behavior and virtuous conduct of Buddhist disciples and followers.
The term "Chariyā" means conduct or behavior, and "Piṭaka" refers to a collection or basket of texts.
So, the Chariyā-Piṭaka can be understood as a collection of texts focusing on ethical conduct and moral principles.
Some Jataka tales are scattered in various sections of the Pali canon of Buddhist writings, including a group of 35 that were collected for didactic purposes.
These 35 constitute the last book, the Cariya Pitaka (“Basket of Conduct”), of the Khuddaka Nikaya (“Short Collection”).

So based on above discussion we can say that the Chariyā-Piṭaka is a collection of:35 Jātakas in verse
