The Mahavansi, The Raja-Ratnacari And The Raja-Vali V2: Forming The Sacred And Historical Books Of Ceylon is a book written by Edward Upham. It is a compilation of three sacred and historical texts from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) - the Mahavansi, the Raja-Ratnacari, and the Raja-Vali. These texts provide a detailed account of the history, culture, and religion of Ceylon from ancient times to the 18th century. The Mahavansi is considered the most important of the three texts and is a chronicle of the rulers of Ceylon from the legendary arrival of Prince Vijaya in 543 BC to the reign of King Mahasena in the 4th century AD. The Raja-Ratnacari and Raja-Vali are also historical texts that provide a detailed account of the rulers of Ceylon and their achievements. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history and culture of Ceylon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...
