1. Ambatitthaka.—A Tamil stronghold surrounded by a river and a moat; it was captured by Duṭṭhagāmaṇi after a siege of four months.¹ The crafty Damiḷa Titthamba lived there, and it is said that, in the end, he was conquered by a conspiracy in which Duṭṭhagāmaṇi offered to allow him to marry Duṭṭhagāmaṇi’s mother.² Near here was a ford across the Mahāvāluka-gaṅgā.
