that were addressed to the déwas and priests. The word sanné means a translation or paraphrase It usually includes both a translation and a commentary or explanation. In some instances the translation is almost literal, whilst in others the comment is so extensive as to form almost an original work. The sannés are of various value, according to the ability of the priest by whom they were made. In the Singhalese copies the text of the original Pali always accompanies the paraphrase.
