According to the Rajavaliya, after the death of King Rajasinghe I, a prince named Rajasuriya, who was residing in Ellawala, assumed the throne. He is described as the grandson of King Rajasinghe I.
The Rajavaliya further states that after Rajasuriya ascended the throne, King Vimaladharmasuriya I seized control of Sitawaka power and consolidated authority in the region.
However, according to some interpretations of the Alakeshwara War traditions and the accounts of Fernão de Queirós, after the death of Rajasinghe I, power was taken not by Rajasuriya but by the king’s elder sister, Bisso Bandara Devi, whose grandson was Nikapitiye Bandara, who is said to have ruled for a short period.
Some sources even suggest that Rajasuriya and Nikapitiye Bandara may refer to the same individual, interpreted differently across traditions.
There are also traditions that present a more complex sequence:
Some later narratives even attribute political conspiracies surrounding Rajasinghe I’s death to Rajasuriya himself.
It is also mentioned in certain sources that Rajasuriya may have had a close relationship with Malwathi, the daughter of Dodampe Ganitha—the man accused of poisoning Rajasinghe I. In retaliation, Rajasinghe I is said to have taken Malwathi into the royal household as a queen, which later contributed to internal conflict and political revenge narratives.
