The Ceylonese Chronicle Cullavaṃsa has preserved a detailed account of two invasions of Ceylon by Candrabhānu, king of Jāvaka.² Now an inscription of a king Candrabhānu, king of Tāmbraliṅga, has been found at Caiya, near Ligor. Dr. Coedès has shown, by a comparison of the dates, that king Candrabhānu of Ligor, who issued this inscription in 1230 A.D., must be the king referred to in the Ceylonese Chronicle.³ It is thus definitely established, that by Jāvaka, the Cullavaṃsa meant a part of the Malay Peninsula.
