Āriyacakkavatti.—A Damiḷa general who came with a large army from the Paṇḍu kingdom and landed in Ceylon during the famine in the reign of Bhuvanekabāhu I. We are told that though he was no "Āriya" he was a dignitary of great power. He laid waste the kingdom and entered the capital Subhagiri. There he seized the Tooth Relic and the costly treasures which were kept with it and took them back to King Kulasekhara¹.
