The author was Ven. Sandamala Linkara, the Sayadaw (Chief Abbot) of Dakhina Vihara Rama Buddhist Monastery in Ranbye Kyun in then British Burma. Published in 1931, it is a compilation of all extant prior Arakanese chronicles in a single narrative.[1] The original 1931 publication consisted of seven volumes.
