Kassapa20
OtherEin Oberhaupt des Kesadhātu-Clans, der Rohaṇa auf Sri Lanka regierte und dort tamilische Streitkräfte besiegte, aber im Kampf getötet wurde, nachdem er sich weigerte, sich Kitti, dem künftigen Vijayabāhu I., zu unterwerfen.
Chief of the Kesadhātus (q.v.) For some time he carried on the government at Rohaṇa, where he defeated the Damiḷā. He refused to own allegiance to Kitti (later Vijayabāhu I), and after six months of rule in Khadiraṅgani, full of resentment that his services against the Damiḷā had not been recognised, he marched against Kitti and was slain in a battle near Kājaragāma. Cv.lvii.65-75.
