Sīlakkhandhavaggaabhinavaṭīkā

A late subcommentary on the Sīlakkhandhavagga of the Dīgha Nikāya — abhinavaṭīkā, the “new” subcommentary, written more than a thousand years after the commentary it explains. This is the first of two volumes and ends with the Brahmajālasutta.

Ñāṇābhivaṃsa wrote it in about 1800 CE, in Burma, after he had become Saṅgharāja — his full style is Ñāṇābhivaṃsa Dhammasenāpati Dhammarājādhirājaguru. The book calls itself Sādhuvilāsinī, in the opening verses and again in a long closing colophon that turns aside to describe the monasteries at Amarapura built by the city's founder, King Bodawpaya (1782–1819 CE) — a subcommentary doubling as a record of its own moment.

The Sāsanavaṃsa credits the same author with more: an atthayojanā on the Jātaka, which appears to be an explanation written in Burmese rather than Pali, and a lost commentary on the Nettippakaraṇa called Peṭakālaṅkāra.
