— I have not been able to ascertain in what age this work was written. Its style is very different to any other work I have read ; but this appears to arise rather from the caprice of its author than from its antiouity. There is another work by the same author, called Pradipikawa, written in the same style. The Am^watura contains an account of the birth of the prince Sidh^Hta, and of his reception of the Budhaship ; after which, in eighteen sections, is given an example of the manner in which different classes of individuals were converted by Budha, including a brahma, dewa, yaka, king, bi*ahman, householder, tirttaka, digambara, jatila, tdpasa, thief, Ac. It was written by Gnrulugowina, and contains 256 pages. 8. Th'upawanse. — The word thtipa means a couical erection, containing a relic, the more common term in Singhalese being d%oba. This work contains an account of the manner in which the relics of Budha were apportioned after his cremation, of the places to which they were taken, and of their subsequent fate. It has 250 pages. 9. Bdjawaliya, — This work contains a connected history of Ceylon, with the names of all the kings, from the death of Budha to the arrival of the English. The former portion bears a con- siderable similarity to the Mahawanso, for the compilation of which it has furnished materials. It was composed by different authors, at various periods. Some copies close at the time of the arrival of the Portuguese ; others, of the Dutch ; and a few are brought down to the begiuning of the present century. The copies most commonly met with contain about 260 pages. 10. Kayawiratigdthd-sannS, — This work contains an account of the anatomy of the human body, setting forth its offensive- ness, and the folly of bestowing attention upon a thing so worthless. It was written by a priest, but I know neither his name nor the age in which he lived. It is read to condemned 540 A MANUAL OF BUDHISM. criminals, that they may not grieve at being obliged to leave a state that is connected with so many evils. 11. Kammawdchan. — This is one of the formnlaries nsed by the priests, containing the ritual to be observed at the ordination of an npasampadd, the dedication of a temple, &c, A translation of some of its principal parts, as well as of some other works of a similar description, appears in the chapters of Eastern Monachism that t^oat of the discipline of the priesthood. 12. The Sannes of various Sutras. — The Sdtra Pitaka is the second division of the sacred code, and contains the discourses of Bndha that were addressed to the laity, in contradistinction to those that were addressed to the d6was and priests. The word sann6 means a translation or paraphrase. It usually includes both a translation and a commentary or explanation. In some instances the translation is almost literal, whilst in others the comment is so extensive as to form almost an original work. The sannes are of various value, according to the ability of the priest by whom they were made. In the Singhalese copies the text of the original P&li always accom- panies the paraphrase. INDEX. A.
