Jaffna was under the control of Dutch in the 18 th century. Mayil Vakanar says that he referred to the texts Kailaya Malai, Vaiyai Padal, Rasa Murai and Pararajashekharan Ula and wrote his book. Interestingly, Mayil Vakanar starts Sri Lankan history from the Ramayana era. According to him, Rakshasas reigned over Sri Lanka for three Yugas. Rama killed Ravana and gave the kingdom to Vibhishana. He says that King Vijaya came to Sri Lanka and built many Koyils (Temples).
