kramabahu. In the year 1459, envoys sent by the ruler of Ceylon
arrived at the Chinese Court, and the name of their sovereign given
by them, has been rendered in Chinese characters as Ko-li-shenghsia-la-chi-li-pa-chiao-la-jo.
There was no other ruler in Ceylon
on this date but Parakramabahu, and the name thus rendered in
Chinese characters appears to have been Kalinga-Simhala-Sri­
Vijaya-raja. This title thus appears to have been assumed by
Parakramabahu after his conquest of Sri Vijaya, before the marriage
of his daughter."
21. PARANAVITANA'S SOURCES OF INTERLINEAR WRITING
Before leaving the story in Ceylon for the Peninsula, I will say
something about Paranavitana's new sources. In chronological order,
tlie books and papers he produced based on these sources are:
1. 1963: Princess Ulakudaya's Wedding, University of Ceylon
Review. Vol. XXI, pp. 103-37. Tells the story of the wedding of King
Parakramabahu VI's daughter, where the genealogies of the bride and
groom are given in Sanskrit and translated (see Section 20 above.)

pp. 79-100.

205-212, Switzerland. Recounts the Romance of King Mahinda IV and
Princess· Sundari (see section 13 above.) Here Dr. Paranavitana
translates his own Sanskrit text of Appendix I, which should be interesting
to compare with the translation made by Dr. Shekar.

three Appendices in Sanskrit, plates. Subject of Part III of this article.
