III. and IV.; and Ribeiro, bk. II., chaps. I.- II.; Rdjdvaliya, Eng. trans.,

with the occurrence of events are not correct. 
41 This name, which might lead some unwary reader into a belief in the 
existence in Ceylon of traces of the Rama epos, is merely an ingenious 
misreading by the Dutch transcriber of Manicarava7'e, the Portuguese 
form of the Sinhalese Menikkadavara, near the village of which name 
in the Three Korales the Portuguese long had a fortified post (see 
Bell's Eep, on the Kegalla Dist., 1892, pp. 30-32).

43 See Faria y Sousa, t. III., pt. IV., cap. XIV. Raja Sinha omits 
to mention that he was defeated by Jorge de Almeida in 1631, and 
himself obliged to sue for peace (see Ribeiro, lib. II., cap. II.) ; and that 
it was the threats of Diogo de Mello that brought about the treaty of 
1633. In Danvers's Eep, on Fort. Records^ p. 134, the terms are 
given as follows : — " That the dominions of Kandy shall be divided 
among three kings, sons of Queen D. Catharina, lawful heiress of 
these territories, and as Kandy is the principal kingdom, he, the King, 
Maastana, is the chief ; that all thieves be handed over to either side, 
together with their plunder ; that neither side break the peace and 
declare war without giving notice and the reasons for doing so ; that 
the fortress of Batecalou be the property of Portugal, but the land 
about it the property of the King, who is, however, not to approach 
within 2,000 paces of the fort ; that the King of Kandy's tribute of 
two elephants be reduced to one elephant per annum for six years ; that 
a prelate of the order of S. Francisco be allowed to reside in Kandy 
to minister to the religious wants of any Christians who may be there ; 
and that on peace being signed the King of Kandy shall give up all 
captains and other Portuguese whom he may have as prisoners. " Thi& 
treaty was concluded on April 15, 1633. 
44 When Batticaloa capitulated to the Dutch in May, 1638, fifty 
natives said to have been concerned in this murder were impaled by 
the king's orders (see Baldaeus, Ceylon^ chap. XXI.).
