XX. [Tissa to Kuṭikaṇṇatissa]

high-definition creative commons photographs from Tissa to Kuṭikaṇṇatissa in the Chronicle of the Island together with further information.

Duṭṭhagāmaṇi was succeeded by his brother, Saddhātissa, a pious ruler who completed unfinished religious projects and supported the Sangha. The chapter follows the subsequent reigns of several kings, detailing their contributions to the island’s Buddhist infrastructure. It notes a period of instability involving famines and further Tamil invasions, yet highlights the resilience of the monarchy and the clergy in maintaining the religious traditions during times of political and environmental hardship./p>
