OB03026 Anuradhapura Slab of Mahinda IV
IN03031 Anuradhapura Slab Inscription of Mahinda IV
The inscription of 49 lines is written in the same style and language than the two tablets of Mihintale (IN3030). It was engraved just a few months later than those ones, during the reign of the king Mahinda IV (975-91 A.D.). It records rules for the administration of certain lands and villages. It also contains an important mention of the temple of the Buddha’s ‘Tooth-relic’ (Daḷ-dā-ge), which enabled the identification of this temple, rebuilt by Mahinda IV in the centre of the town, as the ruined site known as the Daḷadā Māligāva, situated south-east of the Thūparāma dāgäba.

IN03028 Maha-Ratmale Rock Inscription
The inscription is situated in the ruins of an ancient site, close by the Ratmale wewa, south-west from Anurādhapura, not far from the Kurunegala Road. Four lines are engraved on a large slab rock. The inscription mentions three names of kings: Devānapiya Tisa-maharaja, Devānapiya Puṭikaṇa Gamiṇi Abhaya-maharaja, Devānapiya Naka-maharaja. These have been identified by Goldschmidt and Müller as the kings Vaṅkanāsika Tissa, Gaja-bāhu and Mahallaka Nāga of the Mahāvaṁsa. The inscription records the donation from the king Mahallaka Nāga (circa A.D. 135-141) of gruel, boiled rice, undergarments and silk outer garments for the Vassa ceremony to 20 monks at Vihirabijaka and at Muṭigulika and Parivataka monasteries.
