Excerpt from The Mahavansi, the Rájá-Ratnácari, and the Rájá-Vali, Vol. 2 of 3: Forming the Sacred and Historical Books of Ceylon; Also, a Collection of Tracts Illustrative of the Doctrines and Literature of Buddhism Mahatirtawawa Uyana, and the city called' Feyal Cooloo was situated to the east thereof; and the place which is now called Meheentalaw gala was then called Daywakoo'ta; and all the said places abounded with plenty; but on account of a pestilential fever, which became general throughout the island, more dreadful than the plague which broke out in our own Budhu's time, in the city called Wisawla Maha Nuwara, all flesh began to die; and the devils, catching the smell of the dead, made an attempt to enter the island, but by the power of Budhu Cookoosanda, they were prevented, so that they stood in the sea around the shore, and looked with envy and so great was the pity of Budhu, who was then in J ambu - dwipa, upon the miserable inhabitants of Ceylon, that he took flight through the heavens, attended by ministers, and, like. The full-orbed moon surrounded by glit tering stars, alighted on the mountain of Daywa Coota in resplendent glory, while the rays of six different colours issued from his person, and darted to the ten different parts, and pro claimed, Let all the inhabitants of this island behold me! And whosoever beholdeth me, let all diseases be banished, like as darkness vanish eth before the solar ray, and let sorrow instantly be done away from all who cleave to me.
