1. Tissavápi.-A tank near Anurádhapura, probably built by Devánampiyatissa (Mhv.xx.20). It seems to have been customary for the king to take a ceremonial bath in the Tissavápi, after his coronation festival (E.g., Mhv.xxvi.7; xxxv.38; MT.645), and, on this occasion, the Lambakannas formed the king's bodyguard (See, e.g., Mhv.xxxv.16, 38). The road from Mahiyangama to Anurádhapura lay along the edge of the Tissavápi (Mhv.xxxvi.59).

 

2. Tissavápi.-A tank in the neighbourhood of Mahágáma, built by Ilanága (Mhv.xxxv.32).
