One of the five daughters of Vijayabáhu I. and Tilokasundarí (Cv.lix.31). Soothsayers predicted that she alone, of these daughters, would bear a son and would thus become the king's favourite child. Later she married Mánábharana, by whom she had two daughters Mittá and Pabhávatí and a son who later became famous as Parakkamabáhu I. (Cv.lix.34ff., 44; lxii.3, 12ff ).
After her husband's death, she lived with her children in Mahánágahula, protected by her husband's brother, Sirivallabha (Cv.lxiii.4). Later, she went and lived at the court of his elder brother, Kittisirimegha (Cv.lxvii.75ff). She died at Khíragáma and was cremated there.
Parakkamabáhu erected the Ratanávali cetiya in her memory. Cv.lxxix.71.
