The village was the birthplace of Bharaṇa, one of Duṭṭhagāmaṇi's generals.¹ On the river was a ford called Javamāla, crossed by Duṭṭhagāmaṇi while fleeing from his brother Tissa.² According to this context, the river must have been in Rohaṇa, and Geiger³ thinks that it is probably identical with the modern Kumbukkan-Oya. The Mahāvaṃsa Ṭīkā⁴ says that Malamahādeva came to Kappakandara Piyaṅgudīpa to receive alms from Duṭṭhagāmaṇi. - [Previous: v1.c12.824](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.824) - [Next: v1.c12.826](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.826) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.825](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.825) · Pramāṇa
