Māṇābharaṇa, Māṇabhūsaṇa.—Nephew of Vijayabāhu I. His father was king of Paṇḍu and his mother, Mittā, was Vijayabāhu’s sister. He had two brothers, Kittisirimegha and Sirivallabha. He married Ratanāvali, daughter of Vijayabāhu.¹ When Vijayabāhu died, Jayabāhu I. became king and Māṇābharaṇa was made viceroy. When the rightful heir, Vikkamabāhu, rose in revolt, Māṇābharaṇa seized from him Rohaṇa and Dakkhiṇadesa and lived in Puṅkhagāma, under the name of Virabāhu.² He seems to have lived in constant conflict with Vikkamabāhu. Later, when he had already two daughters, Mittā and Pabhāvati, he gave over the government to his ministers and retired from the world. But seven or eight months later he had a dream in the temple of Indra and hurried back to Puṅkhagāma because the dream presaged the birth of a mighty son. This son was Parakkamabāhu I.³ - [Previous: v2.c31.2684](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2684) - [Next: v2.c31.2686](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2686) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2685](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2685) · Pramāṇa
