A cetiya erected at Pulatthipura by Parakkamabāhu I. Its original name was the Mahā Thūpa, but it was renamed on account of its being built by the Damilas brought as captives from the Damila kingdom. Its circumference of one thousand three hundred cubits was larger than that of all other thūpas and, according to the Chronicle, it was built without the aid of any miraculous power. Cv.lxxviii.76ff.
