Upatissa: (370 AD – 412 AD)
After King Buddhadasa, his son Upatissa came to power.
King Upatissa was Murdered by His Queen:
King Upatissa’s queen had a secret relationship with King’s brother, Mahanama. They plotted against
the King and murdered him. King Upatissa built Rajappula, Gijjakhuta, Pokkharapasaya, Valahassa,
Ambutthi and Gondigama reservoirs.
Author’s Note: (Thopawewa): As per both Pujavaliya and Rajavaliya, King Upatissa built the
Thopawewa in Polonnaruwa. Later Thopawewa and two other reservoirs (Dumbuthulu Wewa and
Iramudhu Wewa) were connected together by King Parakramabahu to build the Sea of Parakrama.
(Parakrama Samudraya).
