Amarapura

A city of Burma, founded by King Bodōpayā (Bode, p.74; Sās.130). The Elder Nānābhivaṃsa lived there and was head of the group of monks known as the Amarapura sect.

These monks, later, took to Ceylon a number of Pāli texts, these being either of Burmese authorship or else better known to the Burmese fraternity than to the Sinhalese. Bode, p.78.
