Pupil of Uttarajiva of Pagan. He went to Ceylon with his teacher, received the higher ordination there, and lived in the Mahavihara for some years. Among his works are the Kaccayana suttaniddesa, the Sankhepavannana, the Simalankara, the Vinayagulhatthadipani, the Namacaradipani (on ethics), the Ganthisara (an anthology of texts), and the Matukatthadipani and Patthanagananaya (both on Abhidhamma topics).
On Chapatas return to Burma, he brought four companions from Ceylon Rahula, Ananda, Sivali and Tamalinda - and, with their help, he founded the Sihalasangha in Pagan, followers of the Mahavihara tradition. King Narapatisithu gave them his patronage, but extended it to other sects as well, and the Sihalasangha, therefore, remained only as one sect among several in Burma. Chapata lived in the twelfth century. Gv.64, 74; Sas.65, 74; Svd.1247 f,; Bode, 17, 18, 19.
