The series includes seven different items related to ancient and medieval Sinhalese literature tradition.

This is a single sheet with a note 'Swatsangara.' Handwritten by Gogerly; date and place unknown. White paper, brownish pencil. 21cmX16.3cm.

There are four indexes for Gogerly's translations of four different Theravāda Buddhist texts (Sarasaṅgaha, Sutta-saṅgaha, Cariyā-piṭaka and Vibhaṅga). The indexes are written by an unknown author. [32.5cmX21cm]

This is a letter from a Rev R. Spence Hardy writing to J W Redhouse, Secretary of the RAS, in which he informs the RAS of Gogerly's death and writes; "It is not certain yet what will be dome with Gogerly's collections towards a Pali Dictionary. If I live to return home, I may send it to prepare with additions from other quarters". Handwritten, 4 sides, dated 11 September 1863

The sub-series contains 12 numbered notebooks with Gogerly's translations of various jātaka stories. It seems that the collection is not complete as some of the notebooks are missing. In Theravāda Buddhism, the jātakas (c. 4th century BCE) are a textual division of the Pāli Canon, included in the Khuḍḍaka Nikāya ('Minor Collection') of the Sutta Piṭaka - the second group of the Pāli collection of Buddhist writings. The term mainly refers to the stories of Gautama Buddha's previous lives, in both human and animal form.

The manuscript consists of Gogerly's translation of the Samaññaphala Sutta. Written in Gogerly's hand, possibly in Sri Lanka (Ceylon), date unknown. The item consists of 22 pieces, of which 13 comes in loose foolscap sheets (11 double and 2 single), whereas the remaining 9 - in notebook format. Translated from Pāli or Sinhalese. The translation includes many corrections and notes in red. The Samaññaphala sutta discourse tells the story of the King Ajātasattu, the son and successor of the King Bimbisāra of Magadha, who posed the following question to many Indian spiritual teachers: What is the benefit of living a contemplative life? Being dissatisfied with their answers, the king later posed this question to the Buddha whose answer motivated the king to become a lay follower of the Buddha. 32cmX20.5cm and 20.3cmX16.5cm.

The manuscript is a copy of Gogerly's translation of the Thūpavaṃsa, completed in the middle of the 19th century in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). The item contains 62 loose sheets; the text being written on one side. It seems that Gogerly's translation was transcribed by two people, as the cursive on pages 1-25 is different from the one on pages 25-63. Translated from Pāli or Sinhalese to English. The text is written in black ink and contains many corrections. The Thūpavaṃsa narrates the history of the relics of Śākyamuni Buddha, and contains a rich depiction of the institutionalisation of the Buddha-Śāsana in Ceylon during the reigns of kings Aśoka and Devanampiyatissa, as well as the construction of relic monuments by the later king Duṭṭhagāmaṇī. The central focus of this work concerns the variety of relics associated with the historical Buddha, particularly how the relics were acquired and the presumed benefits of venerating them. Translated from Pali or Sinhalese. Approx. 31.7cmX21.7cm.
