Welcome To The Sri Lanka

Mihindu - VI

Mahinda - VI (1187) was a king of the Kingdom of Polonnaruwa who came to the throne by killing his predecessor Vijayabahu - II. He only reigned for five days, being killed by his successor and Vijayabahu - II's sub-king, Nissanka Malla.
During his short reign, he wrote the Madigiriya inscription to show regards to Maharaja Samara of Srivijaya for his deeds to free the Kingdom of Polonnaruwa from the Cholas.
