Kalu Bandara. The Kalu-diviya-kavi gives an obscure legend of a black leopard, which was bestowed on K. B. by Mänik Raja (Maha-naga). Alut Bandara drove it into a trap. Then Kalu Bandara is said to give the black leopard, and to spread light. He with 3,000 Vädis on the summit of Bala-hela caught a red leopard, and he visits the temple of Morapotâne. The black leopard given by Mänik Raja came from Adam's Peak over Nuvara-eliya, and lurked at Galgoda-patane. Kalu Bandara ordered all the Yakas to bring it to him, and accordingly Santâne Kalu Bandara, Kosamba Deva, and Divas Devi did so. Other verses celebrate the gift of the black leopard by Mänik Raja, Kosamba, Alut Devi, Alut KosambÅ Devi, and Korale Bandara. There were temples of Kalu Bav dåra at Dunukebädda, Diyabubula, Butâvatta, and Doraposa-gala. The Dolaha-devi-kavi states that he quarrelled with his brother and shot him when they roped cattle. He is called Vädi-sâmi and Nayi-Bâmi. He is invoked in Dalu-mura-yahan-kavi which speaks of K. B., a K. B. born in Dumbara, and a K, B. of Senkada-gala), Devatar-k., Gange-bandara-k., Samagam-malyahan, and Vädi-yak-yddinna. See also Kalu Kumara and Pitiya Devi
Kalud ökada Hat-raju. The K.-kumara-kavi and Hal-raja-kavi narrate that this king came from beyond the seas in a stone ship, attended by Avatâra Deva with a golden torch and a numerous train, to Jaffna and thence to Sellan-důva, where they landed. Thence they went to Anuradhapura, where they built the Jetavanârâma dagaba. For this Säkra allowed them to cut off a piece of the girdle-relic. They then went to Ritigala. A shorthorned cow used for milk in the royal kitchen was lost, but recovered by searchers, who after finding it sowed some sesame which they had brought with them to disguise their purpose. The stream then rose in flood, and the searchers thought it desirable to build a tank. They then met three Väddas, who at first threatened to shoot them, but were conciliated. The king visited them, made them presents, and asked them whose the land wag. They said that it was theirs, and that they sowed small millet on it from time to time; they however gave it to the king, who started on the works for the tank. The works sank seven times, and the astrologers declared that a prince must be sacrificed to the Yakas. The king at length consented, and Rat-ran Devi, the Gold God, took the prince to the breach, hid him in a golden vessel, and in his stead sacrificed a bear. The breach was then filled. A storm came on, and the tank fillea up The king then made fields. which he called Bajjapattunâ. He then asked Rat-ran, Kadivânê, and Avatara Deva to restore the child, but they were unable. So was Vävê Devi, the god of the tank. At length Rat-ran recovered him. The child was hence known as Kaludäkade Kumára or K. Raju, the Bear Prince or King; when he grew up ne overcame the Yakas. This legend apparently alludes to the building of the Minnêri tank about A.D. 275 by king Mahasen, who after his death was worshipped as an incarnation of Skanda. Another K.-kumara-kavi narrates the coming of the Hat-raju from Malvara-desa across the Kiri-muhuda (Milk Sea) to Jaffna. Anuradhapura, Tisgam-nuvara, and Ritigala-kanda-nuvara, and his crowning as king Mahasen, after which he went to Mânâ-kanda. A short-horned cow which supplied him with milk was lost, and in the search for it the Minnêri plain was discovered. The tank was then built, but a Yaka destroyed the dam, and the Brahmans declared that a prince must
