King of Sri Lanka for ten years (207-197 B.C.) (Dpv.xii.75; Mhv.xx.57). He was the fourth son of Muṭasīva and succeeded Devānampiyatissa. In the eighth year of his reign died Mahinda (Mhv.xx.33), and in the ninth, Saṅghamittā (Mhv.xx.49). He held great celebrations in honour of these two illustrious dead and built thūpas in various places over their ashes. The Mahāvaṃsa Ṭīkā (p.253) adds that Uttiya built a cetiya at the Somanassa-mālaka.
