As a king, Manavamma ended the 50 year long civil strife in the country. This period was somewhat like The War of the Roses in England du to the fact that it was fought between the and dynasties .Manawanna was also the first king who took name Sena (Become head of army by consent and become true essence of power of army) in his monarchy name. Manavamma was a son of King Kassapa II of Anuradhapura, who came to power around 650 A.D. He ruled the country for around 9 years. Conflict arose for gaining power after the death of Kassapa II. Manavamma did not get involved and went into hiding for his own safety and shortly after his marriage, he fled to India. While the time King Dathopatissa was searching for Manavamma, who fled to the Pallawa Kingdom in India where he befriended the Pallava king, , and served under him. At that time was helped king Narasinghewarman to fight against King Pulukesin II who ruled Chalukya empire and fought on the battlefield that king Narasinghewarman defeated king Pulakesin II in A.D.642. Narasinghewarman gave Prince Manavamma armed forces to recapture Sri Lanka which had been captured by Dathopatissa II while Manavamma was away. While the two were fighting, the Pallava king fell ill, and Manavamma returned to India to attend to him.
