In 1953, he became the first monk ever to be awarded the title of Tipitakadhara, meaning Keeper and Guardian of the Tipitaka.
In 1985, the Guinness Book of World Records recorded the sayadaw as a record holder in the Human memory category. The exact entry was: Human memory: Bhandanta Vicitsara recited 16,000 pages of Buddhist text in Rangoon, Burma in May 1954.
The sayadaw died in 1992. He was given a de facto state funeral, where he was sent off by a large number of fellow monks, government officials and devotees. His ashes were then scattered over various locations across the country.
