India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Kappūra-pariveṇa is the name of a building built by Dāṭhopatissa II (659-667) and forms part of the Abhayagiri-vihāra temple complex situated in Anurādhapura.—The Kappūra or Kapārā-pariveṇa was built by Dāṭhopatissa II. Aggabodhi IV (667-683) added a Pāsāda and Sena I (833-853) built a cell. Inscriptions of the 10th century refer to Maha-Kapārā and Kuḍā-kapārā Piriveṇ and to the Kapārāmula fraternity at Abhayagiri-vihāra. Kassapa V (914-923) built for them the Silāmeghapabbata or Salamey-vanpavu-vihāra. The Pubbārāma or Purvaram-vihāra belonged to the Kapārā fraternity. An inscription of Mahinda V (982-993) names the Kapārā-ārāma and identifies the site. The daughter of Vijayabāhu I (1055-1110) built a massive Image House in the Kappūramūlā-vihāra.
The Abhayagiri-vihāra complex (including Kappūra-pariveṇa) was founded in March, B.C. 89, by king Vaṭṭagāmaṇi Abhaya who demolished a Nigaṇṭha (Jain) shrine called Titthārāma, built by Paṇḍukābhaya in the 4th century B.C., and erected, on its site, a vihāra of 12 cells.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
