BODHI VAMSA

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 109 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BODHI VAMSA , a
prose
  poem in elaborate Sanskritized
Pali
 , composed by Upatissa in the reign of Mahinda IV. of
Ceylon
  about A.D. 980. It is an
adaptation
  of a previously existing
work
  in Sinhalese on the same subject, and describes the bringing of a
branch
  of the celebrated Bo or Bodhi tree (i.e. Wisdom Tree, under which the
Buddha
  had attained wisdom) to
Ceylon
  in the 3rd
century
  B.C. The Bodhi Vamsa quotes verses from the Mahavamsa, but draws a
great
  deal of its material from other sources; and it has occasionally preserved details of the older tradition not found in any other sources known to us.
Edition in
Pali
  for the Pali
Text
  Society by S. Arthur Strong (London, 1891).
