Alastair Gornall - Rewriting Buddhism: Pali Literature and Monastic Reform in Sri Lanka, 1157–1270

I have transliterated Pali (P.), Sanskrit (Sk.) and Sinhala (Sin.) texts according to standard scholarly conventions. The translations contained herein are either my own or as cited. For personal and geographical names, I have usually adopted the Pali version of the name along with diacritics. Some names, however, are more familiar in their Sanskrit/Sinhala form, such as Parkramabhu and Dabadeiya, and in these cases I follow common usage. The one exception is the Cla dynasty, which I refer to using the transliterated Tamil name. I do not transliterate terms such as nirvana and Theravada, which have entered the English lexicon.

I use the modern country name Sri Lanka primarily as a toponym designating the geographical island. Where I occasionally refer specifically to a political territory, however, I have opted to use the most common medieval name for the kingdom, namely, Lak, in order to distinguish the fluctuating territorial boundaries of kings during the period with the actual geographical boundaries of the island. On occasion I have also used the modern English name for a Southern Asian place, such as Kashmir rather than Kamra, where appropriate.

Wherever possible I cite primary source material with a page number and line number, with the line number indicated in subscript (e.g. 12). In general, whenever I directly quote and translate a passage from a primary source, I also provide the Pali, Sanskrit or Sinhala text in the endnotes of each chapter. If the texture of the original language itself is relevant to the topic of discussion, then I also quote it in the main text of the book too. In each chapter the titles of Pali, Sanskrit and Sinhala works are translated in the first instance of their use and, likewise, the regnal dates of each king or queen are cited when they are first mentioned.
