v1.c8.372

Candamukha Siva built a tank near Maṇikāragāmaka and gave it for the use of the vihāra,⁴ while Vasabha built in the monastery an uposatha-hall⁵ and Vohāraka Tissa constructed a wall round it.⁶ Kassapa I. restored the buildings and enlarged the grounds. He also bought villages which he presented to the monastery for its maintenance. He had two daughters, Bodhī and Uppalavaṇṇā, and he gave their names and his own to the vihāra. When the king wished to hand over the vihāra to the Theravāda monks they refused to accept it, fearing the reproach of the people that it was the work of a parricide. Then the king dedicated it to the image of the Buddha and the monks accepted it saying that it belonged to their Master.⁷
