Dhammaceti

King of Pegu (A.C.1460-91); a very enlightened monarch. He was first a monk; he then gave up his robes and became first the minister and later the son-in-law and successor of Queen Shin-san-bu. He sent a mission to Ceylon, where a body of Rāmañña monks were ordained at the Kalyāni-sīmā. These returned to Rāmañña and were known as the Sīhalasangha. For details see Bode: op. cit., 38f.
