India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Moragoḍa is the name of an ancient locality that existed near the ancient kingdom of Anurādhapura, Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—Nissaṅka Malla (1187-1196) decreed Padīvāpi a sanctuary for animals. The surrounding district was known as Padī-raṭṭha and was in Uttarapassa (the northern province). A 10th century inscription at Moragoḍa, near Padaviya, mentions the sub-district Pādinnaru-kuliya, the local area around Moragoḍa and the tank. In the reign of Parakkamabāhu II (1236-1271) Padīraṭṭha was under occupation by Tamil invaders, but his successor, Vijayabahu IV (1271-1273) brought over to his side the Sinhalese dwelling there.
