About the same time, the ,Jvaka ruler Candrabhnu led a
second invasion of the Sinhalese kingdom, on this occasion
with the help of 'many Dami.a soldiers, representing a great

Coas and e1sewhere' It has been claimed that the second
Pya invasion was undertaken to help the Sinhalese ruler
combat the forces of Candrabhnut After 1263 there appears to
have occurred a few minor invasions of the island under the leadership

These are referred to in the Clavaisa as having taken place
immediately before the accession of Bhuvanekabhu I (A.D. l272)
