01. Vimaladhammasūriya 01 untranslated
Vimaladhammasūriya 01. King of Ceylon (1592-1604 CE.). For his father, etc., see Cv.Trs.ii. 227, n.1. He succeeded Rājasīha I. and ruled in Sirivaḍḍhanapura. He built a temple for the Tooth Relic in the capital and, having sent an embassy to Rakkhaṅga, obtained a chapter of monks under Nandicakka to re-establish the Saṅgha in Ceylon. He built the Ganthamba vihāra and held there a ceremony of ordination. He was succeeded by his cousin Senaratna, whom he persuaded to leave the Saṅgha that he might assume the duties of kingship (Cv.xciv.6ff). He seems to have made a special casket for the Relics, which Kittisirirājasīha later overlaid with gold; Cv.c.21; Cv.Trs.ii.276, n.1.
