Mahāvamsa is the greatest historical chronicle of Sri Lanka; it delineates the major events that shaped the history of Sri Lanka since its formative days that spans over twenty-five centuries. It has given inspiration, courage, and fortitude to many millions in times of distress and turbulence and has impressed upon them a. distinct national identity to be proud of. So also within its pages are found the achievements of a great civilization second to none that has ever manifested upon the surface of the earth. The historical facts presented in this treatise has been thoroughly corroborated by archeological and epigraphic evidence, it was its initial translation into English in the middle of the 19th century that helped to reveal the identity of king Piyadasin in the Asokan edicts. Such has been its verity.
