Toungoo Dynasty.[2]
The oldest extant manuscript of 1788 is written in a late
Thai nationalist narratives. It was finally translated into English in 1968 by N.A. Jayawickrama. Thus, the English version today is a "compendium of knowledge of several different ages and places, rather than of a singular time and place."[2]
The chronicle continues to be of interest to Burma scholars. In its "secular section" about early kings, the chronicle extols most about the conquests of King
Haripunjaya, the Mon kingdom that existed before Lan Na.[3]
