Abstract
Venerable
Ambalangoda Polwatte Buddhadatta Mahanayake Thera (A.P. Buddhadatta)
(1887–1962) was a Theravada Buddhist monk and a professor of Buddhist
philosophy at Vidyalankara University. In 1954, he was the first Sri Lankan
monk to be awarded as the Agga Mahā Paṇdita by Burma (Myanmar). He was a
member of the inaugural staff of Nalanda College, Colombo and a member of the
Ananda College staff. Because of his number of substantial texts composing on
Pali language and literature, Ven. Buddhadatta Thera, can be identified as the
most veteran Pali scholar in the recent past era of Sri Lanka. He enters to the
academic writings in 1903. As the
sources indicate, in his great academic career from 1903 to 1962, he has
compiled 87 texts on Pali language and Buddhist studies. English Translation of
Seḷalihiṇi Saṃdesha is an example for that. But, in the course of
time, some of written scriptures have been disappeared. He
has written 1155 articles for newspapers. The texts and editions which year
compiled by Ven. Buddhadaththa Thera can be categorized as follows: Grammatical
texts for the teaching of Pāli language, canonical texts, lexicons, editions
and translations, texts on biographies, texts on history, Pāli literature and
philosophy, texts written to the Pāli text society in England etc. It is noteworthy
that it's not an easy task to collect relevant information of the academic compilations
of this veteran Pāli scholar. This article mostly elucidates the academic compilations
by Ven. A.P. Buddhadatta which are not popular among present Pāli Academicians.
