In the tablets of Mahinda IV (956-972) at Mihintale the king decrees that the whole supply of Kāṇavāva shall be utilised for Mihintale-vihāra only, in accordance with the custom prevailing during the Tamil regime. Vijayabāhu I (1055-1110) and Parakkamabāhu I (1153-1186) both restored Kāṇavāpi: in an inscription of the latter the length of the bund of Kaṇādiyadora is given as 1,600 riyan. (also see Kāṇavāpi)
