Cūlavamsa Being the More Recent Part of the Mahāvamsa

1929

November 1928INTRODUCTION I As to the credibility of the Ctilavamsa: the history of Parakkamabihu's youth The question of the credibility of the Crilavarpsa cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. [...] We hear of the vihiiras built by the king of the repairs he had had undertaken on the more ancient buildings of his bounty to the needy the poor and the sick and above all to the priesthood. [...] - It would not be in keeping with the mentality of the compiler of the liiilvarpsa if we were to translate these expressions always by "ruler of the earth" and the like."XVI Next to the king comes the queen the mahesi his chief consort in contrast to the unrestricted number of concubines the harem (orodha antepura). [...] It is self understood that with the ascent of the throne or more sizictly speaking with the abhiseka the consecration of the king the title of adiplida lapses. [...] We can almost say that this was the rule so that the announcement of the appointment of an uparaja contains the information that the individual in question was at the same time the heir to the throne.
