Their characters are the same as those of the Maunggan plates ; and the script may be referred to the 6th century A.D. It contains an extract from the Vibhaṅga, a book of the Abhidhamma, and corresponds to page 144 of Mrs. Rhys Davids’ edition. (An. R.A.S., Burma, 1924, p. 21.) ### [v2.c19.s2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.law-1933.v2.c19.s2.2) The two gold plates and the stone fragments have been elaborately treated by Mon. Finot in his article “ Un nouveau document sur le buddhisme birman ”—a new document of Burmese Buddhism—published in the Journal Asiatique, Vol. XX, Juillet-Aout, 1912, pages 121 ff. ## Cites (1) - [Vibhaṅga](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.ap.vibhanga) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.law-1933.v2.c19.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.law-1933.v2.c19.s2) · Pramāṇa
