v2.c27.893

Parakkamabāhu now engaged in more peaceful pursuits and, after some trouble, he succeeded in reconciling the three sects of monks—the Mahāvihāra, the Abhayagiri and the Jetavana—and held a convocation under a thera called Mahā Kassapa. The Vaitulya heresy now finally disappeared from Ceylon. The king built for the use of the monks the Jetavanārāma, including a round Temple of the Tooth, in the vicinity of the royal palace, and, further to the north, he constructed the Āḷāhana-Pariveṇa, the Laṅkātilaka-vihāra and the Baddhasīmāpāsāda. He also built the Pacchimārāma, the Uttārārāma and the Mahā Thūpa (or Damiḷa Thūpa).
