Ratanāvalī
PersonEine Tochter von König Vijayabāhu I. und Königin Tilokasundarī, von Wahrsagern als die einzige Tochter vorhergesagt, die einen Sohn gebären würde, die zur Mutter des künftigen Königs Parakkamabāhu I. wurde und nach ihrem Tod mit einem von ihm errichteten Gedenkschrein geehrt wurde
One of the five daughters of Vijayabāhu I and Tilokasundarī (Cv.lix.31). Soothsayers predicted that she alone, of these daughters, would bear a son and would thus become the king’s favourite child. Later she married Mānābharaṇa, by whom she had two daughters Mittā and Pabhāvatī — and a son who later became famous as Parakkamabāhu I. (Cv.lix.34 ff., 44; lxii.3, 12 ff ).
After her husband’s death, she lived with her children in Mahānāgahula, protected by her husband’s brother, Sirivallabha (Cv.lxiii.4). Later, she went and lived at the court of his elder brother, Kittisirimegha (Cv.lxvii.75 ff). She died at Khīragāma and was cremated there.
Parakkamabāhu erected the Ratanāvalī-cetiya in her memory. Cv.lxxix.71.
