After the death of Parakramabahu VI in 1467, he left Nallur the capital he had rebuilt to Kotte to participate in a struggle to inherit the throne. Although he was victorious and ruled as Srisangabodhi Bhuvanekabhahu he was unable to prevent Kanakasooriya Cinkaiariyan and his two son's return from Madurai with mercenaries to wrest the Jaffna Kingdom from Kotte's over lordship.
