A classical Sinhala Buddhist work that takes arahaṁ — the Buddha's quality of worthiness — as its organising theme. It is not confined to doctrine. Alongside its religious matter it carries the history of the sāsana in Sri Lanka, and it reports on historical, political, economic and social conditions on the island.
The text is in Sinhala throughout, so a reading knowledge of the language is needed. International buyers should order it on that basis: there is no English in the body of the work.
This is the kind of title read both as devotional literature and as a source for students of the island's past, where chronicle material and religious narrative sit together in the same work. It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Colombo house publishing in Sinhala and English.
