\*\*Khallāṭanāga\*\* built thirty-two other pāsādas round the Lohapāsāda for its ornamentation,⁹ while \*\*Bhātikābhaya\*\* carried out various repairs to the building,¹⁰ and \*\*Amandagāmaṇi\*\* added an inner courtyard and a verandah (\*ājira\*).¹¹ \*\*Sirināga I.\*\* rebuilt it in five storeys,¹² \*\*Abhayanāga\*\* built a pavilion in the courtyard and \*\*Goṭhābhaya\*\* had the pillars renewed.¹³ He evidently started to rebuild the structure, because we are told¹⁴ that, after his death, his son \*\*Jeṭṭhatissa\*\* completed up to seven storeys the Lohapāsāda which had been left unfinished (\*vippakata\*) by his father. The building was worth one crore, and \*\*Jeṭṭhatissa\*\* offered to it a jewel worth sixty thousand, after which he renamed it \*\*Maṇipāsāda\*\*. Afterwards \*\*Soṇa\*\*, a minister of his brother, the renegade king \*\*Mahānāma\*\*, acting on the advice of heretical monks led by \*\*Saṅghamitta\*\*, destroyed the pāsāda and carried away its wealth to enrich \*\*Abhayagiri-vihāra\*\*.¹⁵
