Kitti Sri Megha, Prince of Dakkinadesa
Kitti Sri Megha (died 1140), also referred to as Kittisrimegha, was a medieval king of the principality of Dakkinadesa in Sri Lanka. The nephew of King Vijayabahu I, he attempted to seize the throne of Sri Lanka along with his two brothers in 1110 CE, but was defeated by Vickramabahu I. He then retreated to the south of the country, which he initially ruled with his younger brother Sri Vallabha. He later ascended to the throne of Dakkinadesa following the death of his older brother Manabharana.
In his later years he adopted and borough up his nephew, the future king of Sri Lanka, Parakramabahu the Great.
==Background==
Following the death of King Vijayabahu I in 1110, his brother Jayabahu was made king of Sri Lanka, in line with Vijayabahu's wishes. High official and minister of the government also declared that Manabharana, the son of princess Mitta, Vijayabahu's sister, should be made ''uparaja'' (literally "deputy king", the recognized heir to the throne〔 〕). This incensed Vickramabahu, the son of Vijayabahu I, who himself had aspirations to the throne.
Realizing Vickramabahu posed a threat to them, Manabharana and Jayabahu set out to kill Vickramabahu. Kitti Sri Megha, Mahabharana's brother joined them in the battle against Vickramabahu, who was at the time ruler of the principality of Ruhuna. Although outnumbered, Vickramabahu was victorious, defeating the royal army in a number of battles. He then cut it off from its base in Polonnaruwa and occupied the capital, establishing himself as king of Rajarata.
