Senaratana

Person

斯里蘭卡國王,維摩羅達摩蘇利耶一世的表弟及繼承人,因葡萄牙人的威脅而將佛牙舍利移往他處,並在去世前七年將國土分授三子,其中包括日後的羅闍西訶二世。

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.
