Notes

  1. The dedication ceremony was held on Monday, the 5th waxing of Tazaungmon 758 ME.[3] The date can be conventionally translated as Thursday, 5 October 1396. If it was indeed on a Monday, the date may have been the 2nd waxing of Tazaungmon 758 ME (Monday, 2 October 1396). The Burmese numerals ၂ (2) and ၅ (5) have similar shapes, and can be misread/miscopied.
