It is said that the king had the sacred texts written down with a short summary in honour of this Elder. Geiger thinks⁴ that the Padhānaghara called Mahallarāja, which had been erected by Aggabodhi III., brother of Kassapa II., in company with the Yuvarāja Māna, was attached to the Kaṭandhakāra monastery. - [Previous: v1.c12.261](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.261) - [Next: v1.c12.263](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.263) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.262](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.262) · Pramāṇa
