Paramatthamañjūsā, or Container of the Ultimate Truth, is a commentary on the Visuddhimagga by Dhammapāla.
Encyclopedia Britannica states:
- In the Paramattha manjusa (Pali: “Jewel Box of the True Meaning”), a commentary on Buddhaghosha’s Visuddhimagga, Dhammapala quotes a verse from the Hindu scripture Bhagavadgita and frequently mentions the views of other schools and teachers. As a result, this work provides valuable information about intellectual activity in traditional circles.[1]
This commentary is also referred to as the "Great Subcommenary" (Mahāṭīkā).[2]
