I always teach my children what my grandmother taught me. My grand mother was born in 1890s. She had told us that Kuweni was not a yakkini. She said that Kuweni was a human being who was wearing clothes . Kuweni was knitting at the time Wijeya and clan arrived. According her Kuweni was belong to a very civilized generation. Not only that there was a dog with her. To me Kuweni is very modern.
The life of the Buddha and early history of his order Translated by W.Woodville Rockhill,14 page foot note f. 368 and wherever she is mentioned, after she had become a bhikshuni, as in Dulva x. and xi It is remarkable that our text do not mention Mahamaya's death seven days after the birth of Siddhartha. සහ ඇය භික්ෂුණියක් බවට පත් වූ පසු ඇය සඳහන් කරන ඕනෑම තැනක සිදුහත් උපතින් දින හතකට පසු මහාමායා මිය ගිය බව අපගේ පාඨයේ සඳහන් නොවීම විශේෂත්වයකි.
Have a look at Ptlomy's map of the world. Taprobana (Sinhale) is at the center and was much larger than today's Sri Lanka. There are five rivers, all flowing towards east. All rivers in India were flowing towards south. He was an astrologer, astronomer and many others too. He was born circa 100 AD. It is known that Mannarama was a place where both astronomy and astrology flourished (according to Prof. Raj Somadeva). I too have read a book in which they say the sons of a king (a contemporary of Chandragupta Muarya) perhaps from Panjab region came to this country when he was deposed. My point is, why did they come here and not to some other place?. It seems they have found remains of a Greek settlement in A'pura belonging to 900 BC. Who knows whether this place is the origin of a developed civilization some people of which migrated to Europe. I have seen a video which showed some rock inscriptions somewhere in Dimbulagala deep in the jungles where you can see Swatika symbol at the beginning of each line. And going by the account of paddy cultivation some 40,000 years ago and those remnants of bows and arrows which are also from same period, our country may be having a glorious past that our so called viyaththu cannot fathom.
Since you are keen in this subject I like to disclose a private conversation by email 3 years ago, with Proff Raj Somadeva I wrote: Dear Professor Raj I have listened to most of your talks in U tube regarding History of Sri Lanka. They were very informative. Thanks Can you please answer this Question. Was Lord Buddha born in Sri Lanka? Do you agree,disagree or partially agree. His Reply : Nov 2018 Dear Rohan, We are living in the age of reason. If you need to verify anything that you conceptualize, it needs an empirical process of validation. I think that the idea you mentioned is still being a hypothesis and conceptualized on observations both literary and physical. But you need to validate it through testing. There are many ways that could be utilized to test it. I am neutral on this issue until it has proven by an excavation. Thank you for writing me. regards Raj Somadeva
