| The death of the Yuvaraja |
|
| By nature, King Gajabahu was quite different from his father. He was kind and associated with his subjects very closely. With the intention of building up a peaceful society, he respected the law of the land to its very letter. He punished those officers who had become rich overnight at the expense of the poor – squeezing their wealth. Meanwhile, those who had some sort of power tried to exert themselves. This too was squashed by him. The Velakkara army had been occupying sacred land for some time. But once they joined the enemy, such land became vacant again. |
