Thotagamuwe Sri Rahula Thera (1408 – 1491)[4] was a Buddhist monk and an eminent scholar,[5] who lived in the 15th century in Sri Lanka.[1] He was a polyglot who was given the title "Shad Bhasha Parameshwara" due to his mastery in six oriental languages which prevailed in the Indian subcontinent.[6] Sangharaja Thotagamuwe Sri Rahula Thera was also a distinguished author, veteran astrologer and a proficient ayurvedic physician.[1]
