vijaya

This is a continuation of Vijaya's story from last week. The next chapter details the story of Vijaya and Kuvena. After he colonizes Sri Lanka, he discards his supernatural wife for the sake of legitimacy in an era when connections to the Indian subcontinent held supreme.

We're back to Vijaya this week. Listen to the chronicle written over 1500 years after his time. What was so special about this king that the Buddhist priests would chronicle not only his ancestry but his odyssey and subsequent colonization of Sri Lanka?
