1. Jetthatissa I.-King of Ceylon (323-33 A.C.), elder son of Gothábhaya, the younger being Mahásena. He slew all the ministers who were disloyal to his father and earned the title of "The Cruel." He rebuilt the Lohapásáda to a height of seven storeys and renamed it the Manipásáda, from the costly jewels he offered in it. He also built the Pácínatissapabbata-vihára and the Álambagáma tank.

3. Jetthatissa.-Son of King Sanghatissa. When Moggallána III. usurped the throne Jetthatissa fled to the Malaya country. From there he helped Asiggáhaka Silámeghavanna in his fight with Moggallána, but on discovering that Silámeghavanna wished to kill him also, he fled once more to Malaya. Later, he made his headquarters at Aritthapabbata, and from there led an army against Aggabodhi III., who was then on the throne. Aggabodhi fled to Jambudípa, and Jetthatissa became king as Jetthatissa III. He reigned for only five months, during which time he did several meritorious works. Aggabodhi returned with an army, and in the battle which followed Jetthatissa slew himself at the sight of his army suffering defeat. His queen entered the Order and became proficient in the Abhidhamma. Cv.xliv.28, 55, 61, 70, 86-106.
