Rock inscription at Vihāregala belonging to the time of Gajabāhu Gāmaṇī Abhaya. E.Z., vol.3, part 3, n°15, 1930, pp.163-169 The site is located on an expanse of low, flat rocks skirting the southern end of a range of hills known as Puliyankuḷam, about 2,5 miles to the north-west of Galenbiňdunuväva in the North Central Province, to the east of he village named Mahakälǟgama, and 2 miles to the south of Pahala Kayināṭṭama (n°14). The two inscriptions are written in a southern variety of Brāhmī alphabet of the 1st/2nd century A.D. Inscription n°1 is four lines long and belongs to the reign of a king named Saba, identified with Subha (118-124 A.D.) of the Mahāvaṁsa. The contents tell that the king granted a tank named Uppaladoṇika to the monks of the Ekadvāra monastery. Inscription n°2 is engraved immediately below the first one. The two records are separated from each other by a period of about half a century. It is of Gajabāhu Gāmaṇī Abhaya. It tells us tha the king re-granted the Uppaladoṇika tank to the Ekadvāra monastery. The ruins at Vihāregala must be the remains of this monastery.
