Senaratana
PersonUn roi du Sri Lanka, cousin et successeur de Vimaladhammasūriya I, qui déplaça la Relique de la Dent loin de la menace portugaise et partagea son royaume entre ses trois fils, dont le futur Rājasīha II, sept ans avant sa mort.
King of Sri Lanka (1604-35 A.D.). He was the cousin and successor of Vimaladhammasūriya I and had his capital at Sirivaḍḍhanapura (Kandy). Because the Paraṅgī (Portuguese) did much damage to Buddhism, he removed the Tooth Relic to Pañcasata. He had three sons: Kumārasīha, Vijayapāla, and the best known of all, Rājasīha (afterwards Rājasīha II). He divided the country among his sons seven years before his death. Cv.xcv.1 ff.
