There are other examples also. The Pitakat-Taik is the sacred library at Pagān, which was built by Anaurahtā in 1057 to house the Buddhist scriptures that he brought away from Thaton. 'It was probably built by the masons whom he brought over from Thaton,⁵ and was presumably a copy of the original library there.

The roof consists of four storeys, set back one behind the other, with ogee roofs between, resting direct on the vaults of the corridors.¹
