Hatthavanagallavihāra untranslated

Hatthavanagallavihāra. A monastery, erected by Goṭhābhaya on the spot where Sirisaṅghabodhi (q.v.) gave his head as a gift to a poor man. It was repaired by Parakkamabāhu II. Vijayabāhu III. was cremated near the vihāra, and Parakkamabāhu II. built there a cetiya and an octagonal image house which contained a stone image of the Buddha (Cv.lxxxv.73f). It is said that a king, named Upatissa, had built in the monastery a five-storeyed pāsāda in honour of a monk who made the earth and sky resound with thunder at the moment of his attainment of Arahant-ship. Parakkamabāhu II. found it fallen into decay and had it restored in his name. His minister, Devappatirāja, erected, in the king’s name, a three-storeyed pāsāda, gave it to Anomadassī Thera, who was chief incumbent of the vihāra at that time, and set up a stone inscription to record the gift. Cv.lxxxvi.12f, 37f.
