The dāgäba and monasic remains, referred to by the name of Abhayagiri in earlier archeological reports, should really be called Jetavanārāma. \nAt one end of the stone is a tenon and probably there was another at the other extremity, irregularly fractured. The stone has been inscribed on seven of its eight facets, with two lines on each face. \nThis stone is of the same variety of marble or limestone as that used in the sculptures of Amarāvatī and Nāgārjunakoṇḍa. This variety of stone is not found in Ceylon, but a few small pieces of sculpture in the same material and in the style characteristic of the Āndhra art, have been discovered at Anurādhapura and some other places in the Island. There is no doubt that they have been imported from the Āndhra country. But it seems that the inscription itself was engraved on the stone in Ceylon.\nThe script differs from the other ancient Sinhalese inscriptions of the 3rd or 4th century A.D. but has points of resemblance to the alphabet used in some of the inscriptions at Nāgārjunakoṇḍa. But in the language used, there is no visible foreign influence. Concerning the subject-matter, It is an edict issued in the first year of a king whose name is missing. It is probably dealing with doctrine regulations for the monks. Traces of the name Abagiri-mahavihara (Abhayagiri-mahāvihāra). The object of the edict was to regulate the ecclesiastical affairs of the ancient Sinhalese Buddhist Church. The fact that the edict was written on an imported stone in an outlandish script proves that the king who issued it did it under outside influence from South India. \nDuring the reign of Mahāsena’s father, Goṭhābhaya, the adherents of the Buddhist Vetulya School became prominent in Ceylon. The monks of the Mahāvihāra treated them as heretics and made the king banish them. They found asylum in South India. One of them, Saṁghamitta, became close to Mahāsena and converted him. As soon as Mahāsena ascended the throne, Saṁghamitta settled in the Abhayagiri monastery and persuaded the king that the monks of the Mahāvihāra were sinful. Mahāsena ordered the Mahāvihāra monks to accept the Vetulya teaching. But they resisted and had to leave for Rohaṇa. This record can be seen as Mahāsena’s attempt to regulate the beliefs of the Mahāvihāra monk due to a religious teacher coming from South India. Furthermore, the mention of the ‘Five-Great-Residences’ (an assembly gathered by Goṭhābhaya to discuss the Vetulya doctrine) and of the name ‘Vayatuḍala’ (probably a form of the word Vetulya) are another reasons to believe that this document is an edict from Mahāsena. Lastly, the stone was found in the precints of the Jetavanārāma vihāra, established by Mahāsena.", "publicationTitle": "Epigraphia Zeylanica", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "1943", "volume": "4", "issue": "", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "273-285", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "SV 28", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2013-09-24T10:56:20Z", "dateModified": "2016-06-05T14:34:37Z" } }, { "key": "M474M6R7", "version": 243, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 176626, "name": "Epigraphia Zeylanica", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/epigraphia_zeylanica", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/176626/items/M474M6R7", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/epigraphia_zeylanica/items/M474M6R7", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1451566, "username": "celiacasado", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/celiacasado", "type": "text/html" } } }, "lastModifiedByUser": { "id": 1475004, "username": "Epigraphia Zeylanica", "name": "Michael WILLIS", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/epigraphia_zeylanica", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Paranavitana", "parsedDate": "1939", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "M474M6R7", "version": 243, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Vessayagiriya rock-inscription of Sirināga II", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Senarath", "lastName": "Paranavitana" } ], "abstractNote": "E.Z., vol.4, part 5, n°27, 1939, pp.218-222\nThe six-line long inscription of is engraved on a small solitary boulder near a ruined structure to the west of Rock B at Vessayagiriya at Anurādhapura.

It is one of the earliest settlements of the Sinhalese in the island. The shrine stands in the middle of a spacious enclosure within which there are an old bo-tree, a Buddhist image house and several minor shrines dedicated to Skanda’s wives and brother.

It is said to have been founded by Mahānāga (circa 3rd c. B.C). On some of the bricks fallen down from the dome there are Brāhmī letters of about the 1st c. B.C., inscribed as masons’ marks.
