Abstract:
King Mindon, the founder of Yadanarbon Royal City and Palace, was a monarch who attempted with might and main for the perpetuation of Buddha Sāsanā in Myanmar. Mindon-min who shaped the Yandanarbon Period was a ruler who inscribed on Palm-leaves the Tipitaka (the three repositories of Buddhist scriptures) consisting of 84000 Dhammakkhandhā corpuses for the perpetuation of the Religion. As the King was worried that the scripts inscribed on palm-leaves would be easy to ruin without lasting for a long time, he inscribed the Pitakas on the stone tablets in order to endure throughout the Sāsanā Period as well as to be unable to be destroyed by the heretics. King Mindon was a martyr sovereign who could successfully carry out the tasks which all the Buddhists should certainly perform, and protect the Sāsanā.
