Senaratana

Person

斯里兰卡国王,维摩罗达摩苏利耶一世的表弟及继承人,因葡萄牙人的威胁而将佛牙舍利移往他处,并在去世前七年将国土分授三子,其中包括日后的罗阇西诃二世。

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.
