Son of Vikkamabāhu II and brother of Gajabahu. He fought against Deva, general of Parakkamabāhu I, at Hedillakhaṇḍagāma, but was defeated, and fled to Billagāma. From there he went to Vallitittha, and was again defeated. Later he joined Mānābharaṇa, and was sent by him to Moravāpi, thence to Anurādhapura, where he defeated Mahālekha Rakkha and Bhaṇḍārapotthakī, who marched against him. From Anurādhapura, Mahinda proceeded to Kālavāpi where, for three months, he fought against Bhaṇḍārapotthakī Bhūta, and was finally defeated by him. This is the last we hear of him.
