Yes, it is a commentary on Ruupasiddhi, but in Burmese. Perhaps that is why
it is not mentioned in CPD bibliography.
Its author is Sayadaw U Ukka.msaabhiva.msa, the abbot of Amarapura temple,
part of Myinwan Monastery Complex located in Mandalay. I can't say the exact
date of composition since I don't have the books at hand, but it was
published after the Second World War.
