After the death of this prince, his spouse Catharina resigned the government, and in the year 1604 married _Henar Pandar_, who reigned under the Pagan name of _Camapadi Mahadakshin_, and had by her a great many children. He was succeeded in 1632 by his son _Ragiasinba_, called also _Mahasorùba_, or _Sinhamaharagia_, who, in the year 1644, received the Dutch with great friendship; but did not give up to them the Portuguese settlements, of which they never obtained complete possession till the year 1658. The successor of this king was _Sishamaharagia_, who assumed the government in 1680, and had under his dominion _Coletur_ as well as _Candia_. The names of the above-mentioned kings of Ceylon are entirely Samscredamic, and have been corrupted by Spilberg, as well as Anquetil du Perron, the Dutch and the Portuguese, the first conquerors of the island. _Vimala_, for example, signifies great; _Dherma_ is the Samscred name of the deity _Budha_; and _Surya_ signifies the sun. _Vimala Dherma Surya_ signifies, therefore, the great king _Dherma_, refulgent like the sun; _Sinhamaharagia_ signifies the lion-great king; for this appellation is compounded of three Samscred words, _Sinha_ a lion, _Maha_ great, and _Ragia_ a king. _Mahàsorùba_ implies as much as the great prince; and _Campadi Mahàdakshin_ signifies Cupid the great king of the eastern districts. It may be readily perceived, that these are assumed and not family names. We are told by Pliny, in his Natural History[248], that, in his time, a _Rachia_ or king of this island sent an embassy to Rome. We are informed also by St. Ambrose, that, in his time, four kings reigned in that island, one of whom was called _Mahàràgia_, or the great king. It appears from these and other circumstances, that this island, as is the case in Malabar, was divided among several petty princes, who acknowledged the sovereignty of one general head.
