Mahasi Sayadaw
The Theravāda textual tradition spread into Burma and Thailand where Pali scholarship continued to flourish with such works as the "Aggavamsa" of Saddaniti and the "Jinakalamali" of Ratanapañña. Pali literature continued to be composed into the modern era, especially in Burma, and writers such as Mahasi Sayadaw translated some of their texts into Pali.
