An officer of Mānābharana. He was captured und put in chains by Parakkamabāhu I. He escaped, however, und the Adhikāri Mañju was sent to seize him. Sūkarabhātu became the commander-in-chief of the rebels und caused great damage to Parakkamabāhu's forces. It was not until Damilādhikāri und Lankāpura Deva concentrated all their attention on him that he could be defeated. He died fighting, near Mahānāgahula. Cv.lxxiv.127f., 153; lxxv.126f.
