To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Burmese also brought back with them from Thaton a great mass of Buddhist scriptures, the acquisition of which was one of the nominal excuses for the war. The manuscripts were all placed in the Bidagat Taik (or Library). King Manuha occupied his captivity by building the Manuha Paya, which contains colossal sitting and reclining images. He also built the Nan Paya. The Nan Paya contains some of the finest stone ( ■! ) carvings in Pai^an. The three faced images (a fourth face is supposed to be... behind) of Brahma on the pillars, illustrate very well how strong the Indian influence was amongst the Talaings. This pagoda was once ruthlessly restored by a Babu in the Public Works Department, but he, and his enormities, have since been removed. Anawrata soon became afraid of his royal prisoner. He summoned Manuha to the Shwezi- gon Pagoda, and during a ceremony, suddenly poured water over his hands, thus dedicating him a slave to the pagoda. The unfortunate King thereby became a slave and an outcast and was thus robbed of his social influence.
