Of late, I am going through a book on the Chronicles of Ceylone.The two most well-known
chronicles of Ceylone are-Dipa Vamsa and Maha Vamsa. The authour of Mahavamsa has been confirmed
as Thera Mahanama .Can anybody kindly suggest a name who authoured Dipa Vamsa.? There is
another area of interest in Dipavamsa ,which drew my attention. It states-' DipaAgamanam
Buddhassha ...... " Thus, can it be inferred that Siddhartha Gautama Buddha had set his foot on
Lankan soil.? Any other evidences to corroborrate ?
