In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA Pali chronicle of Ceylon. It is a continuation of the Mahavamsa, but, unlike the latter, is not a homogeneous work in that it was written by different authors at different periods. It is generally agreed that chapters thirty seven to seventy nine were written by the Thera Dhammakitti in the thirteenth century. The second section, beginning with the reign of Vijayabahu II. and ending with that of Parakkamabahu of Hatthiselapura (Chaps.80-90), seems to be the work of one author whose identity, however, remains unknown. That part of the chronicle which deals with the period from Parakkamabahu to A.C.1758, the death of Kittisiri Rajasiha, was compiled by Tibbotuvave Sumangala Thera, and the last chapter has been continued down to 1815 by Hikkaduve Siri Sumangala. For details see P.L.C.141ff.
Therav膩da is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
India history and geography
: academia.edu: The Chronological History of Ancient Sri LankaCulavamsa or Chulavamsa gives the chronological history of Sri Lanka starting from King Siri Meghavahana (921-894 BCE), the son of Mahasena to King Sirivikramarajasimha (573-591 CE). According to Sri Lankan sources, the first part of Chulavamsa was composed by Thera Dhammakitti and the second part of Chulavamsa up to Kittisirirajasimha (525-560 CE) was composed by Tibbotuvave Siddhatta and the last chapter or supplement was added by Hikkaduve Siri Sumangala.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
