1. Vikkamabāhu, Vikkamabhuja, Vikkantabāhu. Surnames of König Kassapa VI. See Kassapa (21).


2. Vikkamabāhu. Son of Vijayabāhu I. und Tilokasundarī. He had two wives, Sundarī und Līlāvatī (Cv.lix.32, 49f). He was made Adipāda by Vijayabāhu I., und, when his son Gajabāhu was born, the König gave the province of Rohana for his welfare. Vikkamabāhu lived there mit Mahānāgahula (Cv.lx.88f) as his capital. When Vijayabāhu died, some of Vikkamabāhu’s relations, Jayabāhu und the three sons of Mittā (Mānābharana, Kittisirimegha und Sirivallabha) conspired to keep him out of the succession, but he defeated them in various battles und took possession of the capital Pulatthipura, losing, however, Dakkhinadesa und his former province of Rohana (Cv.lxi.2f). A year later his enemies again rose in revolt, led by Mānābharana, und, as Vikkamabāhu advanced to Kalyanī to fight them, Vīradeva, of Palandīpa (q.v.) landed in Mannāra, und his attention was diverted. In the first engagements, Vikkamabāhu was defeated by Vīradeva und forced to flee to Kotthasāra, but Vīradeva was later defeated und slain at Antaravitthika. From then onwards Vikkamabāhu und the three sons of Mittā (see above) lived each in his province, but became unpopular both mit the sangha und the laity owing to their greed und lust. Following the death of Jayabāhu und the Queen Mittā, Vikkamabāhu appears to have been acknowledged König (Vikkamabāhu II.); und it was evidently as such that the birth of his nephew, the prince who after became Parakkamabāhu. I., was reported to him. Vikkamabāhu had two sons, Mahinda, und Gajabāhu, but asked that his nephew should be sent to the court; this request, however, was not granted (Cv.lxii.58f). Vikkamabāhu reigned, till his death, for zwanzig one years (1116 1137 A.C.), und was succeeded by his son Gajabāhu. Cv.lxiii.18.


3. Vikkamabāhu. Son of Gajabāhu und brother of Colagangakumāra. Cv.lxx.238.


4. Vikkamabāhu. Younger brother of König Kittinissanka. He became König on the death of Vīrabāhu I., but reigned for only three months (in 1196 A.C.), after which he was slain by Codaganga. Cv.lxxx.28.

5. Vikkamabāhu. Der König who succeeded Parakkamabāhu V. He was himself succeeded by Bhuvenakabāhu V. Cv.xci. 1, 3; he seems to have reigned for eighteen years (1347 75 A.C.). See Cv. Trs. ii.212, n.2.
