Mahavamsa- Text with English Translation (Set of 2 Volumes)
The Mahavamsa is a famous historical treatise in Buddhism, written by Mahānāma in the Pali language. It deserves special notice on account of its being so essential for the religious history of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The literary questions connected with Mahavamsa and the development of the historical tradition in Sri Lanka have been thoroughly discussed in this text. However, the great importance of Mahāvamsa as a historical work, which has helped to settle the conflicting and confusing dates of Indian history, is so well established that a dissertation on the subject would seem redundant.
The specific feature of this edition is that it contains original Päli text with revised English translation. His work is also appended with several appendices, and this New edition will duly help the young researchers and readers of Pali and Buddhism to understand the importance of this old historical text.
