India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Kūṭatissavihāra or Kūṭatissa is the name of an ancient locality that existed in the Polonnaruva (Polonnaruwa) district of Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—In Kulālitissa-vihāra, also called Kuṇḍalatissa and Kuṭelitissa, Vohārika Tissa (209-231) erected a parasol. It is apparently identical with Kūṭatissa-vihāra endowed by Sena I (833-853). An inscriptionof Mahinda IV (956-972) at Polonnaruva (exact provenance uncertain) mentions Kulu-tis-rad (P. Kūṭatissa) Mahāvihāra of the Mahāvihāra Nikāya and states that Kiṇigama monastery in Padumpasa (the eastern division of Rājaraṭṭha) belongs to it: Demel Kiṇigam, doubtless a part of Kiṇigama, and a neighbouring canal are also mentioned. Kiṇigama was close to the river. There is a modern Kiṇigama, 1 mile south of Pallegama, in Laggala Pallesiya Pattu.
