From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anandachandra Inscriptions date back to 729 originally from Vesali now preserved at Shitethaung indicates adequate evidence for the earliest foundation of Buddhism. Dr. E. H. Johnston's analysis reveals a list of kings which he considered reliable beginning from Chandra dynasty. The western face inscription has 72 lines of text recorded in 51 verses describing the Anandachandra's ancestral rulers. Each face recorded the name and ruling period of each king who were believed to have ruled over the land before Anandachandra.

The Inscriptions recorded in 65 Pali verses included the Rakhine successive kings and their ruling periods. This type of monolith, unique in its kind, is nowhere found in entire Myanmar.
