caused the granite house of the sacred tooth-relic to be built 

 within the premises of the Daladd-maluwa, and had it finished 

 in sixty peyas (24 hours), and there itself he had the Watadd- 

 geya (circular relic-house) erected. He made a pilgrimage to 

 Samanala (Adam's Peak) with his forces, and paid adoration to 

 the holy foot of Buddha. He caused orchards to be planted and 

 ambalam (rest-houses) to be erected in his own name throughout 

 the Island of Lanka. He had sixty-three images in Dambulla 

 Vihara covered with gold plating, and gave it the name 

 '* liangiri Dambulla," and much favoured the Buddhist Church.
