Reading edition
: A.D. 745. Rajataringini, b. iv. sl. 502, 505.
2: Mahawanso, UPHAM'S transl., ch. lxxv. p. 294. This passage in the Mahawanso might seem to imply that it was as an act of retribution that Malabars, by whom the monuments had been injured, were compelled to restore them. But in ch. lxxvii. it is stated that they were brought from India for this purpose, because it "had been found impracticable by other kings to renew and repair them."—P. 305.
3: For an account of the present condition of the Giant's Tank, see Vol. II. Part x. ch. ii.
