Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA minister of Parakkamabahu II. To him were entrusted, by the king, various acts of piety, such as building the road to the shrine at Sumanakuta. In making this road the minister constructed several bridges, and, at the top of the peak, he placed an image of the god Sumana. He also built a three storeyed pasada at Hatthavanagalla vihara. The village of Mahalabugaccha was given to his family in perpetuity, and he was entrusted with the special care of the Tooth Relic. (For a detailed account of his doings, see Cv.lxxxvi.4ff).
