Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA mountain in the Malayarattha in Ceylon. Vijayabahu III. built on its summit a town which he made his capital. For a time the Tooth Relic and the Alms Bowl were there (Cv.lxxxi.15, 29) but were later removed to Billagiri (Cv.lxxxii.7ff). Parakkamabahu II. also used Jambuddoni as his capital, but Vijayabahu IV. moved the seat of government to Pulatthipura (Cv.lxxxx.13). Later, we find Bhuvanekabahu I. being crowned in Jambuddoni, though his capital was in Subhagiri (Cv.xc.30). Vijayabahu III. built the Vijayasundararama (q.v.) on Jambuddoni.
