Senaratana

Person

初代ヴィマラダンマスーリヤの従弟であり後継者であるスリランカの王で、ポルトガルの脅威から仏歯を移し、死の七年前に将来のラージャシーハ二世を含む三人の息子に王国を分割した。

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.
