Mahā Cūḷa Mahā Tissa untranslated

Mahā Cūḷa Mahā Tissa (Mahā Cūḷika Mahā Tissa). Son of Khallāṭanāga and Anulādevī. Vaṭṭagāmaṇī adopted him (thereby earning the title of Pitirājā) and took him with him when forced to flee from the Damiḷas (Mhv.xxxiii.35, 45; Dpv.xx.22f, 31).

Mahā Cūḷa succeeded Vaṭṭagāmaṇī as king of Ceylon and ruled for fourteen years (17-3 B.C.). He worked in a rice field, disguised as a labourer, and with the wages so earned gave alms to Mahā Summa. For three years he laboured in a sugar mill near Soṇṇagiri and built the vihāras known as Maṇḍavāpi, Abhayagallaka, Vaṅkāvaṭṭakagalla, Dīghabāhugallaka, and Jālagāma. He was succeeded by Coranāga (Mhv.xxxiv.1ff). Mahā Cūḷa Had two sons, Tissa (poisoned by the notorious Anulā) and Kuṭakaṇṇatissa. Mhv.xxxiv.15, 28.
