The Great parakrama bahu was a very ambitious prince and was not satisfied to remain a petty king in his own little district in ruhuna.he wished to be powerful and famous.he was vexed to think that though lanka was so small an island,yet it was divided among so many petty rulers,each of whom was like a mere village headman,caring for nothing more than to govern his own portion of the country.he resolved to bring all the people under his own rule,and restore to lanka its ancient greatness and prosperity.and parakrama did succeed in bringing every part of the island under his "umbrella of dominion"for,as an umbrella covers and protects those beneath it,so did the great king guard and govern all his subjects.
so great a warrior was parakramabahu that he did not fear to carry on a war even beyond the seas which surrounded lanka.he waged a successful war with burma and even sent an expedition against the cholas.
parakramabahu did much for ceylon,and is looked upon as one of the greatest king of sri lanka.
