Person

드와다사사핫사까 지방과 이후 로하나 지방을 다스린 왕자로, 마나바라나와 시리왈라바의 형제이며 어린 시절의 빠라까마바후 1세를 후원했다

Son of Mittā, sister of Vijayabāhu I and of a Paṇḍu king (Paṇḍurājā). Mānābharaṇa and Sirivallabha were his brothers, and be married Vijayabāhu’s daughter, Lokanāthā (Cv.lix.42, 44). After Vijayabāhu’s death, Kittisirimegha ruled over the province of Dvādasasahassaka at Mahānāgahula with Mittā and Jayabāhu I. (Cv.lxi.22-7). After the death of Mānābharaṇa, Kittisirimegha took over also his province of Rohana (Cv.lxiii.2). When Gajabāhu succeeded Vikkamabāhu II, Kittisirimegha fought against him, but was defeated by the king’s officer Gokaṇṇa, and retired to his own province, where he was later joined by Parakkamabāhu at Saṅkhanāyakatthalī (Cv.lxiii.20, 34, 43).

Parakkama stayed with him, being adopted as his son, and his subsumption (upanayana) was held under Kittisirimegha’s orders at Baddalatthalī (Cv.lxiv.18, 25, 36). When, however, Parakkama escaped from the prince’s protection, he sent an army to capture him, but without success (Cv.lxvi.57 ff). Later, Parakkama himself went to see Kittisirimegha in the company of his mother Ratnāvalī, and Kittisirimegha gave orders to his followers to regard the prince as their master. He himself died soon after (Cv.xvii.16, 55, 60, 83, 87).
