the gift a 1_' by a certain Araka Irina of land in
Kallaiyil-teliyal-peu, twenty beads of cattle and fifty
coconuts to the Uttama-ca-ivaram teniple The identity of
Kallaiyil-teliyal-peu is not known. Probably this place and
the temple of Uttama-ca-ivarani were both in the region of
Saxgili-kanadarva. Uttama Ca was not only the name of the
immediate predecessor of Rjarja I on the C
1a throne, but was
also used as a title by members of the Ca royal family in
the time Rjndra II (lO5k-lO63) It is not likely that the
temple referred to in our inscription was named after King
Uttama Ca, for Ceylon was not under the Cas in his time.
It is possible that it was named after a member of the Ca
royal family, with the title Uttama Ca, in the reign of
Rjndra ii.
Only one Ca inscription has been discovered in
the North-western Province. This record comes from Attaragalla
in the Puttalam district and is dated in the ninth year of
Rjndra Ca, who may be the second of that name. It is badly
damaged and seems to record the building of an ambalam (iim)
The Central Province has also yielded one Ca inscription.
