¹ Cūlavaṃsa, being the more recent part of the Mahāvaṃsa, ed. by *W. Geiger* I, PTS 1925. Cūlav. 37, 215 ff. deals with Buddhaghosa. Chapter 39 has been edited and translated by *T. W. Rhys Davids* (JRAS 1875, p. 191 ff., 201 ff. "The Reigns of Kāśyapa the Parricide and of Moggallānu the First"). In some MSS. the work consists of 90 chapters, and in others of 100 or 101. The title Cūlavaṃsa is nowhere to be found in the MSS. In 99, 76, the kings of Ceylon are divided into those of the "Great Dynasty" (mahāvaṃsa) and those of the "Lesser Dynasty" (cūlavaṃsa).
