Tradition says¹ that it was written in Sinhalese, and was so called because it was compiled in the \*\*Kurundavelu-Vihāra\*\* in Ceylon. It seems to have been chiefly concerned with Vinaya rules, for we find frequent references to it, particularly in the \*Samantapāsādikā\*.² It is also called \*\*Kurundī-gandha.\*\*³ In many cases its explanations appear to have been different from those of other commentaries. - [Previous: v1.c12.2676](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2676) - [Next: v1.c12.2678](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2678) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2677](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2677) · Pramāṇa
