JOtTRNAL, R.A.S. (CEYLON). [VOL. XXIl. 
" This general in the first place seized many of the king's terri- 
tories ; but when the latter heard that he had begun to draw near 
to the city of Jaffnapatnam, he sent one of his courtiers, Conta 
Cara Demalis, and then a second and third, named Panigevorum 
and Valamunivorussa,^' to stop him ; but they were all three in a 
short time slain by Sappoe Comara, who now made it evident that 
he intended, with his blue horse with the green mane,^* to invest 
the city. 
" The anxious king, seeing him arrive, sent Varacara,^^ a bold 
knight, against him, who had undertaken to hew him in pieces, 
^ but he was stabbed by his men ere he came near him. Meanwhile 
the Prince Sappoe Comara got into the city, conquered it and all 
the king's realm, took many of his nobles prisoners, and brought 
them in a body, since the king himself had fled, to the emperor, 
who appointed one of his nephews, by name Ariattetoe Addum 
Prauwmal,^^ King of Jaffnapatnam. 
" After that this emperor reigned in great peace for the space 
of fifty-five years, spending most of the end of his lifetime in the 
service of the gods."
