Dear friends,

I believe this is a silly mistake by myself. Traditionally, we regard the atthakatha as the commentary and the tika as the subcommentary. But, some modern writers simply regard both as commentaries, and so there are two. The "Burmese" notion, I believe, is purely my "mis-read".

metta,
Yong Peng.

not long ago, I read that there are two commentaries to the Majjhima Nikaya. One is Papancasudani by Buddhaghosa, the other is a later Burmese version.
