King of Wattagamani Abhaya

In Sri Lankan peoples don’t know who was king Watta Gamini Abhaya, its same name for king Walagamba. Walagambha was a short name. He was towards control Anuradhapura Kingdom of Sri Lanka. King Walagamba was the fourth son of king Sadhdha Thissa. Dutugamunu, Thulatthana, Lanja Tissa, and Khallata Naga are brothers of King Walagambha.

In 103BC, Valagamba in turn killed Kammaharattaka and took over the throne. He takes on Mahaculika, the son of Khallatanaga, as his own son. King Walagambha took Anuladevi as his queen. He also had another queen named Soma Devi.
After that Walagaamba acceded to the throne, a Brahmin named Tissa of Rohana revolted against him. Meanwhile, an invading army led by seven Tamil leaders landed in Mahaththita from southern India. Tissa and the seven Tamil leaders sent messages to King Walagamba asking them to hand over his power. Walagamba informed Brahmana Tissa that the kingdom belonged to him and told him to defeat the invading army. Recognizing this, Tissa tried to fight but was defeated by the Tamil people.
