4. Parakkamabāhu.—Son of Vijayabāhu IV. and grandson of Parakkamabāhu II. He became king about 1302 A.C., but the length of his reign is not known. He paid a visit to the Pāṇḍyan king and recovered the Tooth and Bowl Relics which had been carried away by Ariyacakkavatti. They were restored to Pulatthipura.¹ It may be conjectured that Parakkama secured the Relics at the price of vassalage to the Pāṇḍyan court.
