Va ordenar fer copies del Mahavansa, el Diqha Nikaya i el Sanyutta Nikaya; els seus dos germans, que havien estat nomenats sub-reis, van seguir el seu exemple. També va enviar una ambaixada a Siam, al rei Dhammika, al que van demanar l'enviament de monjos il·lustrats per difondre el budisme; el més important que va arribar fou Upali amb 10 més que van poder residir al temple de Malwatta (Puspharma); un altre grup de monjos estava dirigit per Maha Visuddhacariya i Varananamuni, van arribar seguidament.
