Dhātusena (455-473) built Paṇṇavallakabhūta-vihāra, and in Paṇṇasālaka Queen Kalyāṇavatī (1202-1208) built Kalyāṇavatī-vihāra. Sena II (853-887) built a sluice on Miṇṇeriya tank. Parakkamabāhu I (1153-1186) restored Miṇṇerya tank and made the canal named Kālindī which flowed south from the tank’s southern outlet. Nissaṅka Malla declared the tank a sanctuary for animals.
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.

Nearly always in formula pahīna ucchinna-mūla t° anabhāvaṃ-kata “given up, with roots cut out, like a palm with its base destroyed, rendered unable to sprout again” (Kern, Toev. II. 88: as een wijnpalm die niet meer geschiķt is om weêr uit te schieten). This phrase was misunderstood in BSk. : M Vastu III, 360 has kālavastuṃ.—The readings vary: tālāvatthu e.g. at M.
