In enumerating the kings in succession (
rājakkama
) such as Mahā
Sammata, Roca, etc., some commentaries and treatises are slightly
different: These are the commentary on the Discourse to Ambaṭṭha
(
Ambaṭṭha-sutta
, DN 3), and its new sub-commentary, the commentary on
the Birth Story about the King of Cetiya (
Cetiya-jātaka
, Ja 422), the Great
Chronicle (
Mahā-vaṁsa
), the Chronicle of the Island (
Dīpa-vaṁsa
) and the
Chronicle of the Kings (
Rāja-vaṁsa
). What is shown below is based chiefly
on the Great Chronicle and the Great Cause of Learning (
Mahā-suta-kārī
).
