* Pieris, Kamalika (2020, April 10). "Uda Kendawala Siri Saranankara". ''LankaWeb''. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20260729044516/https://www.lankaweb.com/news/items/2020/04/10/uda-kendawala-siri-saranankara/ archived]). {{annotation|The fullest single English-language chronology of Saranankara's life, drawing on Jayawardena (1979), Warnapala (2002), and Abeysinghe (1993); included under the RBP's exclusion clause in the absence of a fuller academic biography.}}
* Warnapala, W.A. Wiswa (2002). ''Udakendawela Siri Saranankara: An Assessment of His Role in the Anti-Imperialist Struggle in Sri Lanka''. S. Godage & Brothers. {{annotation|A 62-page dedicated biographical study, apparently the only book-length treatment of Saranankara to date; known to the RBP only through its library catalog record and not yet consulted directly.}}
* Seneviratne, H.L. (1999). ''The Work of Kings: The New Buddhism in Sri Lanka''. University of Chicago Press. {{annotation|Cites ''Satanaka Satahan'' directly at pp. 135 n. 8, 137 n. 12, and 196 n. 15: once for comparative material on the Ramakrishna Mission's "five precepts of social service," and once as a source of insider criticism of the Vidyālaṅkāra circle around Walpola Rahula. The only source consulted for this page that engages with the specific content of Saranankara's own writing rather than only his public biography.}}
* Tambiah, Stanley Jeyaraja (1992). ''Buddhism Betrayed?: Religion, Politics, and Violence in Sri Lanka''. University of Chicago Press. {{annotation|Discusses Saranankara at pp. 15–17 and 100–101, drawing on Jayawardena (1979) at second hand; the two passages differ on whether he became the Communist Party's vice-president or vice-chairman, a discrepancy resolved in this entry in favor of Jayawardena's own, earlier wording.}}
* Abeysinghe, W.A. (1993). "Udakendawela Siri Saranankara: The Veteran Peace Champion". In: ''Essays on Buddhism and Buddhist Culture'': 54–64. S. Godage & Brothers. {{annotation|The fullest account of Saranankara's India years, and the source of the one confirmed direct quotation from his autobiography, on non-violence and national liberation. Reproduced, in a lightly revised form, as "Ven. Udakendawala Siri Saranankara, the Legendary Freedom-Fighter", ''Sunday Observer'', reprinted ''LankaWeb'', 18 May 2018. (https://web.archive.org/web/20250119125029/https://www.lankaweb.com/news/items/2018/05/18/ven-udakendawala-siri-saranankara-the-legendary-freedom-fighter/ archived])}}
* Jayawardena, Kumari (1979). "Bhikkus in Revolt". Four-part series. ''Lanka Guardian'' 2.2 (15 May): 16–18; 2.4 (15 June): 13–14; 2.5 (1 July): 10–11; 2.6 (15 July): 7–9. {{annotation|The earliest and most detailed account of Saranankara's career, drawing in part directly on his own autobiography; part 3 (1 July) contains the fullest biographical passage and a photograph of Saranankara with Selina Perera, Vernon Gunasekara, Dr. N.M. Perera, and M.A.L. Bracegirdle. Nearly all subsequent English-language writing on Saranankara, including Tambiah (1992) and Pieris (2020), derives from this series.}}
* Warnapala, W.A. Wiswa (1978). "Sangha and Politics in Sri Lanka". ''Indian Journal of Politics'' (April–August). {{annotation|Cited by Jayawardena (1979) as one of her own sources on the political-monk phenomenon generally; volume and page numbers not yet established, and the article itself has not yet been consulted directly for this page.}}
* Phadnis, Urmila (1976). ''Religion and Politics in Sri Lanka''. C. Hurst & Co. {{annotation|Cited by both Jayawardena (1979) and Tambiah (1992) for the roster of monks in the so-called Vidyālaṅkāra group, among whom Phadnis includes Saranankara. Not yet consulted directly for this page; the publication details given by Tambiah (London) and by Jayawardena (New Delhi) have not been reconciled, and may reflect simultaneous UK and Indian editions.}}
