22. Kassapa.—Chief of the Kesadhātus (q.v.). For some time he carried on the government at Rohaṇa, where he defeated the Damiḷas. He refused to own allegiance to Kitti (afterwards Vijayabāhu I.), and after six months of rule in Khadiraṅgaṇi, full of resentment that his services against the Damiḷas had not been recognised, he marched against Kitti and was slain in a battle near Kājaragāma.¹
