Sena.—Senāpati of Mahinda IV. and of Sena V. He was sent to Nāgadīpa, where he subdued the Vallabha king. Once, when he was absent, Sena V. had the senāpati’s younger brother, Mahāmalla, slain for an offence with the queen-mother, and appointed a court official Udaya as senāpati. When Sena senāpati heard of this, he marched against the king, who had to flee to Rohaṇa. The queen-mother joined Sena, and he lived in Pulatthipura. This king, later, dismissed Senāpati Udaya and made peace with Sena, whose daughter he married.¹ 8. Sena.—Son of Mahinda IV. and king of Ceylon (Sena V. 972-81 A.C.). His mother was a Kāliṅga princess. He came to the throne at the age of twelve. His senāpati was also called Sena (see Sena 7), and for some time the king had to live in Rohaṇa from fear of Sena. But later he made peace, and married Sena’s daughter and had a son, Kassapa. The king drank much, and died of digestive trouble in the tenth year of his reign.¹ - [Previous: v2.c36.4929](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4929) - [Next: v2.c36.4931](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4931) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4930](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4930) · Pramāṇa
