Daṇḍanāyakabhātaro

Two brothers, Kitti and Saṅkhadhātu, generals of Parakkamabāhu I.

Kitti was made chief of the Kesadhātus and Saṅkhadhātu was made a Nagaragalla.

These honours won from them their allegiance to the king. They took an active part in Parakkamabāhu’s campaign against Gajabāhu (Cv.lxx.279, 284, 293, 301) and also in his wars waged for the unification of the country. Cv.lxxii.36, 162, 222, 272; lxxv.181.
