This Wikipedia entry credulously repeats the Mahavamsa account of Mahasen's reign. Since the Mahavamsa was compiled by Theravada Buddhist monks fiercely opposed to the Mahayana Buddhism Mahasena espoused, its claims need to be treated with extreme caution. I have edited the text to reflect this. --palmyrah (talk) 05:54, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
