King of Sri Lanka (1592-1604 A.C.). For his father, etc., see Cv. Trs.ii. 227, n.1. He succeeded Rājasīha I and ruled in Sirivaḍḍhanapura. He built a temple for the Tooth Relic in the capital ¹ and, having sent an embassy to Rakkhaṅga, obtained a chapter of monks under Nandicakka to re establish the Order in Sri Lanka. He built the Ganthamba-vihāra and held there a ceremony of ordination. He was succeeded by his cousin Senaratna, whom he persuaded to leave the Order that he might assume the duties of kingship (Cv.xciv.6 ff).
