King
Gajaba
King Vanka-Nasika Tissa was a pious king. He led a religious
life. It is he who built the Mahamanagala Vihara, on the bank
of the Gona river. His reign was a short one. It lasted only
for three years. He was succeeded by his son Gajaba in 114 AD.
By the time of his accession, the queen mother was busy constructing
the temple that the monk had requested her to build. She spent
a lot of money on this construction.
