Mānavamma, king of Ceylon, who had been driven out of his country a second time and had lived at the Pallava King Narasimha's court at Cōnjeveram, returned to Ceylon in 668 (a date conclusively established by Dr. Hultzsch). He seized the usurping Singhalese king Haṭṭhadātha II, decapitated him, and obtained the throne for himself.
