An inscription dated in the 3rd regnal year of Vikramabahu III (1357–1374), found at the ''Medawala Rajamaha Vihara'' in the [[Kandy District]] records a treaty between that king and an [[Aryacakravarti]] named Martanda (Sin ai Ariyan) of Jaffna.{{cite web|url= https://www.infolanka.com/org/srilanka/hist/hist4.html |
