Sinhala: Mahisadoova

This harks back to the Mahisadoova which is north of Mannar. An interesting aspect of the Vijaya legend is the story that the boat carrying the women companions of Vijaya's men landed in "Mahisadoova". If the Vijaya legend is linked with Kihirikanda, then it is the "Mahisadoova" of Kalpitiya that becomes relevant. The existence of different versions of the legend is in keeping with many landings of immigrant groups, led by princely leaders, all resonating with a single story.
