දන්ත ධාතුව ප්‍රදර්ශනය ගැන අඳෝනා හොදටම ඇති

"And under this is revealed a minute thing like a tiny thumbstall of rubies. It is the covering of the very relic."

Exactly what the British recounting says, word by word.

And the video said "අවසාන කරඬුව ලෙස සලකන්නෙත් ඒක"

Again, just as it is in the British report.

"It is the covering of the very relic."



Not sure if you're deliberately misunderstanding the book or genuinely don't understand what it says. The excerpt clearly describes the "කුඩා කොපුව" the video is talking about as a "tiny thumbstall".



There are three books that describe the relic in detail:

Two happy years in Ceylon by Gordon Cumming, C. F. (Constance Frederica), 1901

In old Ceylon by Farrer, Reginald John, 1908

The Buddha’s Tooth - Western Tales of a Sri Lankan Relic by John S. Strong, 2021

I just read this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relic_of_the_tooth_of_the_Buddha
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10829713/

So it says Sri Lanka holds the tooth relic and rest of the other temples who claim to hold tooth relics are questionable. We have the advantage. Let's keep it in that way and not question this I googled about the longevity of teeth after they are fallen off and it says if preserved well enough they can last about 10K years so we can keep it going for another 7.5K years without breaking a sweat

ඉතිං දැන් ඕකෙන් කියනවද දළඳා වන්සේ දැක්ක කියලා. මට නන් තේරෙන්නේ අවසාන ආවරණය උන් දැක්ක කියන එක විතරයි නේ. උන් පොටෝ ගන්න ඇත්තේ ඒක තමා

Read the excerpt please. They describe it from the 1st dagoba to the 7th dagoba, and what is seen after the 7th dagoba is removed.

We have the advantage. Let's keep it in that way

No idea. The 5th dagoba is described as "a starry firmament of stones, clothed and muffled in a scarlet bandanna"

The 6th, "a Spiry pinnacle so close set with rubies as to seem one solid jewel"

The 7th and final one, "a minute thing like a tiny thumbstall of rubies"

It doesn't say what it is made out of.

Are you saying that "පුංචි කොපුව" is number 7?

ඔය මගුල ඉවර වෙද්දි නුවර නිකං ඉන්දියාවේ ගංගානම් ගග හරියේ වගේ තියෙයි. නුවර මහ දවල් ලක්ශ ගනනක් ඉස්සරා දූශණය වෙයි.

The book says it is

And the video too says it's the 7th and the final covering.

කොහොම හරි ඔය පොතේ නෑනේ දැන් දළඳා වහන්සේ දැක්ක කියලා. කියන්නේ කරඬු හතම දැක්ක කියලා විතරයි නේ.

Can't you read? Read the part where it describes what they saw after the 7th and the final covering was removed.

Oh the one I read described the enclosure itself as the relic. So it is an enclosure. My god how many enclosures does it need.

There are seven enclosures according to British reports and the video posted by @emoji diaries

wait I'm confused. At one point it describes the enclosure as a tiny thumbstall of rubies (i see a thumbstall in the picture but don't see rubies) but then they call the thing attached to the golden wire (as shown in the picture) the 'relic'. Confused unga bunga. Do you understand this? From the second description I thought it is the tooth that is placed through the golden wire and it doesn't look like a bloody tooth to me.

but they have to keep the tradition you know.
so let them believe.

so let them believe.

"For, of course, no educated Buddhist throughout the world has any notion of believing in the literal authenticity of the little curved bone that lies at the heart of all those jewelled dagabas in the adytum of the Dalada Maligawa at Kandy. Such a crude and crass materialism is left for the mass of the uninstructed people. Salutary for them, perhaps, and helpful, is a definite material belief in a definite visible fact ; but for souls more free from bondage such a pretence has no use, and the monks and abbots of Lanka would certainly disclaim in private any belief in the small object they are reverently exposing to the adoration of multitudes, even as a well-educated Roman prelate would smile discreetly if you asked him whether such and such a bone he had just been pompously exposing to the kisses of ecstatic women were in very deed the skull of St. Peter or the thumb of St. Jude. It is enough that these things should be adored, for through them are adored the holiness of which they, no less than any genuine relic, are the earthly representation."
