It was here that \*\*Paṇḍukābhaya\*\* captured the \*\*Yakkhinī Cetiyā\*\*.¹ This was a strategic point in the wars with the Tamils, and we find \*\*Kākavaṇṇatissa\*\* entrusting its protection to his son \*\*Dīghābhaya\*\*.² It is probable that, some time afterwards, the place fell into the hands of the Tamils, for we find \*\*Duṭṭhagāmaṇi\*\* mentioned as having captured it from the Tamil general \*\*Kapisīsa\*\*.³ According to the \*Mahāvaṃsa Ṭīkā\*⁴ the place was nine leagues from Anurādhapura, but \*\*Nimila\*\* journeyed there and back in one day. - [Previous: v1.c12.166](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.166) - [Next: v1.c12.168](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.168) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.167](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.167) · Pramāṇa
