Person

Un roi éclairé de Pegu, qui passa du statut de moine à celui de ministre, puis de gendre royal et de successeur, et qui envoya des moines à Sri Lanka pour une réordination à la Kalyāṇi-sīmā, fondant ainsi le Sīhalasaṅgha en Rāmañña

King of Pegu (A.C.1460-91); a very enlightened monarch. He was first a monk; he then gave up his robes and became first the minister and later the son-in-law and successor of Queen Shin-san-bu. He sent a mission to Sri Lanka, where a body of Rāmañña monks were ordained at the Kalyāṇi-sīmā. These returned to Rāmañña and were known as the Sīhalasaṅgha. For details see Bode: op.cit., 38 f.
