It is considered to be the first dagoba built in Sri Lanka.[86]When the Danta and Hemamala family arrive in Sri Lanka in 362-409 CE, they deliver one of the four eye teeth relics to King Sirimeghavanna; who places it with the bowl relic. The relics remain together in Anuradhapura for 600 years until being moved to the new capital of Polonnaruva; at which point it becomes the most venerated relic in Sri Lanka.[87] It is believed the bowl produces rainfall, a fourteenth century legend says that king Upatissa put an end to a drought by willing the bowl with water, and sprinkling the ground while following a cart with a golden statue of Buddha.[88] It is said the Buddha's disciple Ananda had done with when Vaisali suffered from famine and pestilence from drought. In the twelfth century at Parakkamabahu's festival for the tooth relic a rain cloud filled the ponds but did not rain on the celebration.[/SIZE]</blockquote>
