About this listen
This episode is a reading of Vijaya's Story from Book IX of the Dipavamsa, the earliest chronicle of Sri Lanka. It tells the story of Prince Vijaya—his banishment and journey from the Indian subcontinent and his arrival to the Island of Lanka.
This reading is from the text found here: An Ancient Buddhist Historical Record edited and translated by Hermann Oldenberg and available online through the efforts of Buddhist monk, Ānandajoti Bhikkhu in 2018. This edition is based on a reprint of the 1879 edition made by the Pali Text Society in 2000. https://ancient-buddhist-texts.net/Texts-and-Translations/Dipavamsa/09-Vijaya.htm
The Dipavamsa is the earliest attempt to write a Chronicle of the Sāsana and the Kings of Sri Lanka, from earliest times up to the 5th c. A.D.
This reading gives both Pali and English versions. Please excuse mistakes introduced in my reading of the Pali text.
