520			_ahis book is a translation of Dhammapāla’s commentary on the Vimānavatthu, a text from the Khuddakanikāya in the Suttapiṭaka of the Pali Canon. It includes illustrations and provides a detailed explanation of the Vimānavatthu, which consists of stories about heavenly mansions and the meritorious deeds that lead to rebirth in such realms. The commentary, Paramattha-dīpanī, explores moral and doctrinal themes, emphasizing the connection between virtuous actions and their karmic results. It can be divided into two parts: Women’s Vimānas (Itthivimāna) with Divan Chapter (Pāṭhavagga), Cittalatā Chapter (Cittalatāvagga), Pāricchattaka Chapter (Pāricchattakavagga) and Crimson Chapter (Mañjeṭṭhakavagga) and Men’s Vimānas (Purisavimāna) with Great Chariot Chapter (Mahārathavagga), Pāyāsi Chapter (Pāyāsivagga) and Nicely Laid Down Chapter (Sunikhittavagga). This edition is an invaluable resource for scholars, featuring indexes for easy reference.
