IN03121 Pahala Kayināṭṭama Rock Inscription
The inscription is engraved on a rock on the embankment of the Pahala Kayināṭṭamaväva (Pahala Kayinattama Wewa) in the Uḍḍiyankuḷam Kōraḷē of the North-Central Province. The text registers a grant to the Ekadoraya monastery by king Saba. It does not explicitly state what is being granted but, since the inscription is located on the embankment of a tank, it is obvious that the tank itself is the object of the grant. From the contents of two related rock-inscriptions found two miles to the south of the present record (IN03122 and IN03123), Senerath Paranavitana was able to identify king Saba mentioned here as Subha, who reigned between 60 and 66 A.D.
