Place

ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ ගම්මානයකි; Sugalā බිසව පවිත්‍ර පිඟාන හා දළදා වහන්සේ රැගෙන පලා යද්දී එහි පැමිණියාය.

A village to which Queen Sugalā (q.v.) fled, taking the sacred relies, the almsbowl and the Tooth Relic (Cv.lxxiv.88). It is identified with Etimole about five or six miles south-east of Monorāgala (Cv.Trs.ii.29, n.4). It is perhaps to be identified with Uruvelamaṇḍala
