The book was written in India in the Coḷa country. It is an introduction to the study of the Abhidhamma, and there is much similarity between it and the Visuddhimagga, though Buddhadatta’s diction is less involved and ambiguous than that of Buddhaghosa; his vocabulary is extraordinarily rich and his style more graphic. - [Previous: v1.c6.2301](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2301) - [Next: v1.c6.2303](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2303) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2302](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.2302) · Pramāṇa
