The Chonicle of the Island - 227 23. vīsatibhikkhunīsahassehi saha Rohanam āgatā, pūjitā naradevena Abhayena yasassinā vinayaṁ vācayiṁsu piṭakaṁ Anurādhapuravhaye. 602 | [98] 23. came from (?) Rohana together with twenty thousand Bhikkhunīs, honoured by illustrious king Abhaya. They taught the Vinayapiṭaka in Anurādhapura. 24. Mahādevī ca Padumā Hemāsā ca yasassinī Unnalā Añjalī Sumā 603 | 24. Mahādevī and Padumā, illustrious Hemāsā, Unnalā, [206] Añjalī, Sumā, – 25. etā tadā bhikkhuniyo chaḷabhiññā mahiddhikā soḷasabhikkhunīsahassehi saha Saṅghamittāgatā, 604 | 25. these Bhikkhunīs who possessed the six (supernatural) faculties and the great (magical) powers, came … together with sixteen thousand Bhikkhunīs. 26. pūjitā Tissarājena Devānampiyayasassinā vinayaṁ vācayiṁsu piṭakaṁ Anurādhapuravhaye. | 26. Honoured by illustrious king Tissa Devānampiya (?), they taught the Vinayapiṭaka in Anurādhapura. 27. Mahāsoṇā ca Dattā ca Sīvalā ca vicakkhaṇā Rūpasobhiṇī appamattā pūjitā Devāmānusā | 27. Mahāsoṇā and Dattā, wise Sīvalā, zealous Rūpasobhinī, venerated Devamānusā, – 28. Nāgā ca Nāgamittā ca Dhammaguttā ca Dāsiyā cakkhubhūtā Samuddā ca saddhammavaṁsakovidā | 28. Nāgā and Nāgamittā, Dhammaguttā, and Dāsiyā, and Samuddā gifted with (supernatural) vision, who well understood the true Religion and (its) history, – 602 As the bhikkhunīs mentioned here lived in Anurādhapura, I believe we ought to read: Rohanamh[ā] āgatā. Probably these bhikkhunīs came from Rohana to Anurādhapura at the time when Abhaya Duṭṭhagāmani, whose father Kākavaṇṇa had been king of Rohana, and whose sister was the chief of these bhikkhunīs, transferred his residence to Anurādhapura, after the defeat of Elāra. 603 Unalā Y F. 604 saha Saṅghamittā idhāgatā N. This passage is hopelessly corrupted. The names both of Saṅghamittā and of Devānampiya (v. 26) seem to be out of place here.
The Chonicle of the Island - 228 29. Sapattā Channā Upālī ca Revatā sādhusammatā etā vinayaggīnaṁ aggā Somadevassa atrajā 605 | 29. Sapattā, Channā, and Upālī, excellent Revatā, these were the highest among the Vinaya-studying Bhikkhunīs, the daughters of Somanadeva, – 30. Mālā Khemā ca Tissā ca dhammakathikamuttamā vinayaṁ tāva vācayiṁsu paṭhamaṁ apagate bhaye. 606 | 30. Mālā and Khemā and Tissā, the highest among the preachers of the Dhamma, these taught the Vinaya first after the death of Abhaya (or: when the danger had disappeared?). 31. Sīvalā ca Mahāruhā saddhammavaṁsakovidā pasādikā Jambudīpā sāsanena bahū janā 607 | 32. vīsatibhikkhunīsahassehi saha Jambudīpāgatā yācitā naradevena Abhayena yasassinā. | 31-32. Sīvalā and Mahāruhā who well understood the true Religion and (its) history, and had converted to the Faith many people in Jambudīpa, came hither from Jambudīpa together with twenty thousand Bhikkhunīs, invited by illustrious king Abhaya. 33. vinayaṁ vācayiṁsu piṭakaṁ Anurādhapuravhaye nikāye pañca vācesuṁ satta c’ eva pakaraṇe. | 33. They taught the Vinayapiṭaka in Anurādhapura; they (also) taught the five Collections (of the Suttapiṭaka) and the seven Treatises (of the Abhidhamma). 34. sa-Sammuddanavā devī Sīvalā rājadhītaro visāradā Nāgapālī Nāgamittā ca paṇḍitā 608 | 34. Sīvalā together with queen Samuddanavā, daughters of a king, wise Nāgapālī, and clever Nāgamittā, – 605 venayikānaṁ aggā? – Chandā Y. 606 apagato Y. 607 pāsādikā C M. – pasāditā Jambudīpe sasanena bahū jane? 608 °samuddanāvā Z.
