  • Descrição: [...]the existence of these 'rag-wearing monks' seems to be formally associated witha Sinhalese king, Sena I (reigned circa 833-85310), of seemingly slightly later date than the 792 Abhayagirivihara inscription, although it is difficult to conceive a different role for this type of distinctive architecture, limited as it is to the wilderness periphery of the Anuradhapura Abhayagirivihara. According to the noted Tibetanist David Snellgrove, who as editor of an ancient palm-leaf version of the STTS is one of the few individuals in the world today who has seen and handled a copy of the STTS in the way that it would be known to the Indian masters, the palm-leaf manuscript of the STTS might weigh half a kilogram at most (personal communication with David Snellgrove). [...]the discovery near the giant gate of the Ratu Baka of a short tantric inscription, seemingly originating from the famous story of Trailokyavijaya in the STTS,19 would add convincing support to the suspicion that the Abhayagirivihara monks were invited to Java because they were the foremost masters of the Yoga Tantras, skilled commentators on the doctrines of these tantric texts and custodians of the most authentic recensions of the STTS. [...]there is a mantra which is associated with Trailokyavijaya, the most prominent story within the STTS, embedded into the earth on the Ratu Baka by a Javanese king known to have held the throne of Mataram at the time of the founding of the Sinhalese monastery there.
