Ariyālaṅkāra.—There were four theras of this name in Burma, all famous for their Pāli scholarship. The first (Ariyālaṅkāra of Ava) excelled in *dhātupaccayavibhāga*, i.e. was an accomplished grammarian.¹ His pupil, Ariyālaṅkāra the younger, is credited with exegetical works on the Aṭṭhasālinī, the Saṅkhepavaṇṇanā, the Abhidhammatthavibhāvanī and the Vibhaṅga. He also wrote a Pāli ṭīkā called the Sāratthavikāsinī on the Kaccāyanabheda, and he made in Burmese what amounted to a revised edition of Kaccāyana’s grammar.²
