c21.32
The tortuous policy of Kulōttunga, however, failed completely. The Vēḷaikkāra rebellion was suppressed and the mercenaries bound themselves to serve the king loyally thereafter and the chief Buddhist shrine of Polonnaruwa⁶⁸ was placed under their protection. Kulōttunga apparently made his peace with Vijayabāhu, for one of his daughters, Śuttamalliyār, married Vīrapperumāl, a Sinhalese prince of the Pāṇḍyan party in Ceylon, and made a gift of a 'perpetual' lamp to an Īśvara temple in the reign of Jayabāhu I, the successor of Vijayabāhu.⁶⁹
