Digital Rare Book:
The Dathávansa, or, The history of the tooth-relic of Gotama Buddha
The Páli text and its translation into English, with notes by Mutu Coomára Swámy
Published by Trübner & Co., London - 1874


Preface:

The text of Daihavansa, or the " History of the Tooth-Relic " of Gotama Buddha, is printed now for the first time, with the object of removing, to a small extent at least, some of these difficulties. To make it more widely useful, a close and literal translation is also presented in this volume. The aim has been to render the original almost word for word, and to sacrifice elegance rather than correctness, whenever the one was incompatible with the other, and thus to present, even to the general reader. Eastern ideas only in the quaint forms and expressions of the East.
