No amount of praise could do enough justice to this great king of the People. Scholars and the learned bhikkus could have erred; not the common, grateful man of the land: hence the epithet Minneri Deyyo. Great blog and excellent work.

King Mahasen was probably the best king ever known for his ablity to develop irrigation nationwide using the best tachnology available that time.This made
King Mahasen a great ruler and a person who really feels peoples needs and wants
ofcourse the heartbeat.King Mahasen was truly a god like character.

King Mahasen’s queens were from India and they have got down their relations with them it’s normally happen usually when they get this arrangement and those male relations got enrobed as theros and soon became leaders of mahavihara without proper training of bikkuhood of buddist monastry and this has caused the great change in the mahavihara to just a sangarama with ganinnansela (bikkus with no deciplene) where people did not wiiling to visit and worship but same time the Jhetavana vihara was full with learned diciples of Buddha Dhamma(doctrine of Lord Buddha) the king was attracted by their simple logic of Buddhism so he became a member of those intellectuals .King Mahasen parents has 50% blood relationship with Native Yaksha Gothra and this always contributed him to think of basic need of people and always did work for the country and people living in it with more Higher knowledge of Buddhism that worked agianst Indian origin queens and their relations now Mahanayakas of Mahavihara,but he became King of Irrigation Systems of Sri Lanka Past Present and Future!

Maybe you could change the page subject title King Mahasen (275 AD â€“ 301 AD) to more generic for your subject you make. I enjoyed the blog post still.
