Arattana. — In the time of King Vikrama Bahu of Gampola, 

 Tennakon Mudiyanse of Arattana was executed for abusing 

 Princess Henakanda Biso Bandara. The village was given to 

 artificers brought from Dewundara (Dondra), Aluvihare, 

 Ekiriya, &c, and was attached to the Sinhasane Pattale. 

 King Rajadhiraja Sinha brought people from Arattana to build 

 Buwelikada Nuwara; among them was Dewundara alias 

 Dewendra Mulachariya. He was the builder of the Audience 

 Hall in Kandy. The legend current in Kandy is that the chiefe

 lake. He also took part in the construction of the Octagon. 

 He obtained the following : — 



1. Sannasa, 1703 Saka, (1781 a.d.), to Dingitta Appu

 former sannasa was sustained by the judicial Commissioner's 

 Court.
