There had been a revolt in the palace, where seven sons had been born to the seven queens of the king, who when they grew up created dissension when each of them claimed kingship. The wise king’s plan was to equip seven ships With merchandize and send them out in the seas to embark on the island of Lanka or Sinhaladeepa and engage in trade. The story may have been written by an unknown author on ola leaf or paper but now no more.However it has been durable in legend. When the princes of Kerala were in mid ocean a violent storm wrecked their ships along with the cargo and the crew including Prince Devol were struggling for life among the rough waves God Sakra taking pity on the hapless crew created a raft in the turbulent sea on to which they all scrambled and after days of drifting reached the Southern shores of Lanka.When they were striving to enter the island they were prevented from landing by the shore guards stationed at Unawatuna, Gintota, Udugalpitiya in Dodanduwa and at Hikkaduwa when they finally managed to set foot at a village a little distant north of Hikkaduwa now called Seenigama.The saga of ‘devol deviyo’- <a href="http://www.island.lk/2001/02/17/satmag05.html" target="_blank">http://www.island.lk/2001/02/17/satmag05.html</a></blockquote>
