A general of Aggabodhi II. He revolted against Saṅghatissa, and, after some reverses, defeated him, with the help of the treacherous general (senāpati), at Pācīnatissapabbata. He then became king as Moggallāna III and was known as Dabba Moggallāna (Cv.xliv.63). He did many good deeds, among them being the construction of the Moggallāna Piṭṭhigāma and Vaṭagāma-vihāras. He made Saṅghatissa’s general the ruler of Malaya, but later quarrelled with him and had his hands and feet cut off. The general’s son rose in revolt and killed the king near Sīhagiri. Moggallāna ruled for six years (511-17 A.C.). Cv.xliv.3-62.
