A general of King Sáhasamalla. Áyasmanta deposed the king and installed Kalyánavatí, chief queen of Kittinissanka, on the throne of Ceylon. It was he who really administered the government, the queen's power being only nominal. The Cúlavamsa calls him a man of almost unsurpassable courage, a descendant of the Khandhávara family. He slew the Adhikárin Deva and had a vihára erected at Valliggáma. He also built a parivena called after him Sarájakulavaddhana (this evidently being one of his honorific titles) and gave land and other possessions for its maintenance. He had a text-book of law compiled for the use of administrators.
He was slain by the Mahádipáda Aníkanga. Cv.lxxx.33-44. For further details see Geiger Cv.Trs.ii.130, n.2.
