First published in 2000. This is Volume II of seven of a series on Southeast Asia. Written in 1886, this is a collection of ancient proverbs and maxims from Burmese sources or the Niti literature of Burma. The Sanskrit-Pali word Niti is equivalent to conduct in its abstract, and guide in its concrete signification.
"With very limited material on Myanmar culture and literature translated into English, this book covers collections of codes of conduct, principles of morality, maxims and ethical recommendations for different kind of people (general reader, powerful elites, etc) in ancient times in Myanmar. Reading these beautiful texts will expand your knowledge on Myanmar Buddhist culture and tradition...This book will be a valuable gem for those interested in learning about Burmese culture and literature in ancient times."
