White elephants

Dear Jim and Rett,
I found some more info about the Lord of 5 Elephants in the Saasanava.msa:
Saasanava.msa Myanmar p. 95 (in the Vijayapure Saasanava.msa chapter)
Kaliyuge catuvassaadhike sattasate ujanassa ran~n~no dharamaanasseva
kani.t.thabhaatiko kyecvaa naama raajaa kumaaro rajja.m ga.nhi.
``After the 4th rains/year in the 700th year of the Dark Era (kaliyuga),
Kani.t.tha (also) called Prince Kyecvaa, the brother of King Ujana, even
though (the king) was alive, grasped the Kingship.''
(The King got scared because his younger brother had obtained 5 white
elephants and left the palace.)
Saasanava.msa Myanmar p. 97
Pan~cannaí  pana  setibhaanaí  laddhattaa  pan~casetibhindoti
paaka.to.  Muulanaama.m panassa  siihasuuroti  da.t.thabbaí.
``Because of the gaining of 5 white elephants he became famous as the
'Lord of 5 white elephants', but his original name is to be shown as
siihasuuro (`Lion's Strength').''
His son had four white elephants and was called catusetibhindo.
The Saasanava.msa concludes the chapter with
``Kaccaayanava.n.nana.m  pana  vijayapureyeva  abhayagiripabbate
nisinno  mahaavijitaapii (sic.) naama  thero  akaasi.  Vaacako
padesampi soyeva akaasi. Saddavutti.m pana Saddhammagurutthero akaasi.''
``The Kaccaayanava.n.nanaa was made by the Great Vijitaavii thera
sitting on the mount Abhayagiri  in Vijayapura itself. He also made the
Vaacakapadesa. The Saddavutti was made by Saddhammaguru thera. ''
Thus, the king who is mentioned in the colophon is likely to be
Kani.t.tha/Siihasuura. The Abhayagiri appears to be a hill or mountain
in or near the town of Pegu.
I need to do some more research on the Kaliyuga to calculate the year.
The king mentioned in Bode p. 47 is King Baying Naung, the
anekasetibhinda, and he is someone else.
White elephants were
and are very important royal emblems in Southeast Asia, but not at all
so in Sri Lanka.
I hope that this is of use.
Best Wishes,
