India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Maṇḍalagirika or Maṇḍalagirikavihāra is the name of an ancient locality that existed in the Polonnaruva (Polonnaruwa) district of Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—In Maṇḍalagirika-vihāra in Tissavaḍḍhamānaka district, Kaniṭṭha Tissa (167-186) built an Uposatha House. The son of Aggabodhi IV(667-683) built there a costly Dhātugeha or Vaṭa-dā-ge for the Cetiya. Sena II (853-887) granted the Vihāra villages. Vijayabāhu I (1055-1110) restored the Vihāra. The Cūlavaṃsa states that the 12th century treaty between Gajabāhu II and Parakkamabāhu was engraved on a natural rock at Maṇḍalīgiri-vihāra: this epigraph has not yet been discovered but a copy of it has been found at Saṅgamu-vihāra in Kurunāgala district. Nissaṅka Malla visited Maṇḍiligiri-vihāra. The ruins are now known as Madirigiriya-vihāra, a beautiful site 10 miles north-east of Miṇṇeriya.
