the two classes of Priests, Kings, Sub-kings, Prime Ministers, 

 &c, take care to maintain this Vihara perfectly and to attain 

 the bliss of heaven and Nirwana, 20 not having failed (to act 

 properly as regards) both worlds. 



On Sunday the 5th day of the bright half of the month 

 Unduwap (November-December), in the 44th year (of his 

 reign, the abovenamed King Sri Parakrama Bahu) with a view 

 to procure merit for the great Queen, gave orders to Seliya- 

 darayarun and caused to be completed the work of the image 

 houses, halls, cells, &c, in the Viharas of Kalubovila, Wattala, 

 Mahara, Madampe, Dedigomuwa, Navayodana, Denawaka and 

 Aramanasala, and granted (the following lands, &c.,) to the 

 venerable priest Sunetra Mahadevi Piriwantera cf Pepiliyana 

 pouring out the water of donation 21 and dedicating them to the 

 Three Gems, to wit : — 



Fifteen amunas of paddy sowing extent from Kehelpat- 

 dolavela, and houses and gardens thereabout ; Totakumbura 

 recently asweddumised in Kasawela ; Mirisgala Kanda with the 

 jungle and open ground thereon ; Kendangomuwa ; Elabada- 

 kumbura of two amunas paddy sowing extent and Deltota 

 kumbura (both) in Magama ; tracts of forest and low lands 

 contained in these villages, twenty males and females ; Moratota 

 and Pattiya for the purpose of supplying furniture for the 

 Vihara. The learned and high priests of this Vihara should 

 cause this to continue for a long time by acting exactly in the 

 manner above described. 



If any one should hereafter disturb, encroach upon, or 

 complain of^any one of the abovementioned things given for 

 the benefit of the Three Gems, or if any one should impose 

 a new tksk by royal command, he will be born in hundred 

 and thirty\-six hells including eight principal hells, such as, 

 Sanjiva, Kalasutra, &c, and suffer indescribable misery and be 

 liable to the punishment assigned to such as have been guilty 

 of the Panchanantariya crimes, such as parricide, &c. If any 

 persons take back land given by himself or by another, or 

 appropriate the produce thereof, he will be born a worm in 

 foeces (and continue in that state) for a period 60,000 years.
