A monastery, erected by Gothábhaya on the spot where Sirisanghabodhi (q.v.) gave his head as a gift to a poor man. It was repaired by Parakkamabáhu II. Vijayabáhu III. was cremated near the vihára, and Parakkamabáhu II. built there a cetiya and an octagonal image house which contained a stone image of the Buddha (Cv.lxxxv.73f). It is said that a king, named Upatissa, had built in the monastery a five storeyed pásáda in honour of a monk who made the earth and sky resound with thunder at the moment of his attainment of arahantship. Parakkamabáhu II. found it fallen into decay and had it restored in his name. His minister, Devappatirája, erected, in the king's name, a three storeyed pásáda, gave it to Anomadassí Thera, who was chief incumbent of the vihára at that time, and set up a stone inscription to record the gift. Cv.lxxxvi.12f, 37f.
