Urelawatte
(sp. Uralawatte, Uralawatta?) Clan - See
link to Tudugala Family
The
reference to one Bhuwanayka Bahu Terunnanse in
the Ehelepola Sannasa of 1745 is interesting. It states -
"whereas the grandson of Siriniwasa Maha Terunnanse, whi is a
hereditary descendant of Buhuwaneka Bahu Terunnanse,
accompanied His Majesty (Rajasinha II) to Madakalapuwe,
and performed military service"..... "Obtained two Kafir women
and appointments to the following offices, viz Lekam of the
Halumandape, and Radabadda Gabada Nilame of the
PalleMahawasala" (AC Lawrie, "A Gazeteer of the Central
Province of Ceylon, Government Printer, Ceylon 1896 - p200).
The descendants of this Bhuwanayka Bahu Terunnanse are also
recorded in the Palkumbura Vihara Sannasa of 1804, (AC Lawrie,
"A Gazeteer of the Central Province of Ceylon, Government
Printer, Ceylon 1896 - p688). The Wasagama of a particular
branch of this family is repeated again under the two villages
named, Urulewatta, one in Udunuwara and the other in Asgiriya
Pallesi Patti of Matale South. The same Sannasa mentions that
this Bhuwanaka Bahu Terunnanse is a relative of the
King of Kotte, and that this family of brothers had left the
Kingdom of Kotte since the demise of their king. The king
referred to should be Buvaneka Bahu VI, whose reign in
Kotte was a troubled one. During his reign which commenced,
circa 1469 and ended circa 1478, the entire country between
Kalu Ganga and Walawe Ganga rose up in arms against him. The
rising is called Simhala-Peraliya in the Rajavaliya and is
also recorded in the Dedigama inscription. The King had to
take the fiedl himself to bring Sathara KMorale to obedience,
and once submitted amnesty was granted. The granting of
amnesty refers to the succession of UdaRata from Kotte under
the leadership of Prince Senarasammatha Vickrama Bahu.
The migration of this family from Kotte to the village of
Urulewatta in Udunuwara, which is within the Kingdom of Kandy,
would have taken place during the reign of King
"Senasammatha VickramaBahu" (1463-1483), who from the
court at Gampola, had founded Senkadagala Sailavhidhana
Siriwardhana Pura, the future capital of the Kandyan Kingdom.
It
follows that a nephew of this Bhuwanayak Bahu
Terunnanse also known as Bhuwanayka Bahu
Terunnanse had to disrobe when King Rajasinha I of
Seethawaka invaded the Kingdom in 1582 and caused many
Buddhist Priests to disrobe due to the influence of a certain
Hindu Cult. King Rajasinha I of Seethawaka had founbght the
Portuguese for many years without complete success, and was a
disillusioned and demoralized king during the latter stages of
his reign which endd in 1592, whe this particular Hindu Sect
made use of the situation and succeeded in obtaining the
King's patronage.
The
narrative of the Palkumbura Sannasa concludes by mentioning
that this Bhikku, Bhuvayaka Bahu Panditha Mudiyanse,
after disrobing, was the tutor of Senarath, the robed
cousin of King Vimaladharmasuriya I, who succeeded him
as the King of Kandy from 1604-1635 AD. A descendant of this
Royal Tutor known as Urulewatte Wickramasinha Chandrasekera
Karunatillaka Seneviratna Panditha Wahala Loku Mudiyanse, from
the Hamlet Elamaldeniya in Dodanwela, became Udugampahe 2nd
Adikaram of the Kandyan Kingdom in 1741. However, this
Urulewatte (Pilimitalawe)
Loku Mudiyanse Nilame of Elamaldeniya could hold on to this
office only for a very brief period of 11 months between 1741
and 1742, before he wqas forced to relinquish this office due
to power struggles and internal conflicts among the chiefs. He
had to wait another 18 years before he could reassume duties
as Udagampahe Adikaram.
The
village of the origin of the Ehelepola
family of Matale is situated in Udugoda-Udasiya Pattu
of Matale North. In fact Ehelepola is not only a village by
itself but a cluster of villages (Wasama) under the control of
a single Arachchi or Headman. This Wasama includes, Kinigama,
Urulemulla, Kohona, Koholanwela, Dalupota, Walmoruwa,
Demeda-Oya, Homapola, and Ehelepola. Four of
these villages are connected to the ancestry of the Ehelepola
family and are situated in close proximity to each other. One
of them is identified, in the present day, as Monaravila
(Mondaruvila) which lies in the Koswatta Wasama of
Udugoda-Udasiya Pattu in Matalke North and comes under the
supervision of the Arachchi of Beligomuwa. The others are the
villages of Medabedda in Pallesiya Pattu-Udugoda Matale, and
the villages of Palle and Uda Waradamuna in Gampahasiya Pattu
in Matale South. Of the four ancestral residences, "Ehelepola
Walauwa" and "Monaravila Walauwa" were in Udugoda-Udasiya
Pattuwa. The "Hulangamuwe Walauwa" was in Kohona Siya Pattuwa
and the "Nugahapola Walauwa" was in Udugoda-Pallesiya Pattuwa.
The
forming of the principalities of Matale took place during the
final years of reign of King Senerath (1605-1635). The two
principalities of Matale and Uva were formed by the King, in
order to accommodate his two nephews, Prince Wijayapala
and Prince Kumarasinha. They were half brothers of
King Senerath's own son Rajasinha II, begotten from the common
mother Kusumasana Devi, alias Princess Dona Katharina, the
daughter of the once deposed sub-King of Kanda-Uda-Rata,
Jayavira Bandara (1551-1561) alias "Karaliyadde Bandara".
It
is
recorded in the work, "The Kandyan Kingdom 1707-1760"
by Lorna S Devaraja, that the two Chief Ministers, Wijayasundera
Wickremasinha Chandrasekera Rajakarunanayaka Seneviratne
Mudiyanse, the Pallegampahe 1st Adikaram of the Kandyan
Kingdom from 1734-1737 and from 1747-1759 from the Wasagama
of Ehelepola, and Wijeyasundera Loku Mudiyanse alias
"Pilimatalawe",
the
Udagampahe Adikaram from 1760-1766, from the Wasagama of
Elamaldeniya, were related to each other. Although the
specifics of this relationship are not mentioned in that
record, it is obvious that the marriage of the "Monarawila'
Lady, who was King Narendrasingha's concubine, to the first
known "Pilamatalawe Adikaram", is the basis for this
relationship.
The
same
record in the work of Lorna S Devaraja, states that Urelawatte
Wijayasundera
Loku Mudiyanse, the 2nd Adikaram, had to yield his
position to a rival of the first Adikaram due to the above
mentioned relationship, between him and the 1st Adikaram. In
this instance the rival of the 1st Adikaram from Ehelepola is
identified as a relative of the senior "Leuke", the Maha
Disawa of Sathara Korale from 1740-1751.
By
1743,
the senior Leuke Nilame was in favor with King Sri
Vijaya Rajasinha. Within the next three years he had
received many lands by way of the Royal Grant, popularly knon
as the "Leuke Sannasa", and had been appointed as the
Disawa of of Thun Korale. Due to the excessive influence he
was having at the Court, King Sri Vijaya Rajasinha was
compelled to appoint a relative of Leuke, who is identified as
Samarakkodi/Samarankodi
Nilame, to the office of Udagampahe 2nd Adikaram
in 1746, the last year of his reign. Samarakkodi
Nilame held this office up to 1760, which was well
into the reign of the succeeding King Kirthi Sri Rajasinha.
However, due to his continuing close contact with the Madura
Dynasty, with the ascent of a new King, the once removed
Wijayasundera Wickremasinha Chnadrasekera Rajakarunanayaka
Seneviratne Mudiyanse of Ehelepola was re-instated in 1747 and
was Pallegampahe 1st Adikaram up to 1759.
The
senior
"Leuke" Nilame, the Maha Disawa of the Sathara Korale,
died in 1751, and by 1753 the fortunes of Samarakkodi
Adikaram were in decline. Samarakkodi/Samarankodi
Adikaram had a hand in the conspiracy of 1760 against King
Kirthi Sri Rajasinha. According to the "Sasanavathirna
Varanawa", it was the ex-second Adikaram, Urelawatte
(Pilimitalawe)
Panditha Wahala Loku Mudiyanse who revealed the
conspiracy through Galagoda Disawa alias "Munwatte Adikaram"
who became the Pallegampaha 1st Adikaram in 1760. The
Samarankodi Adikaram was executed in 1760 for his part in the
conspiracy. Pilimatalawe Elamaldeniya Loku Mudiyanse was
recalled to re-assume duites as Udagampahe 2nd Adikaram from
late 1760 to 1766. Galagoda alias "Munwatte Adikaram"
became very powerful and held as many as twenty High Offices
between 1760 and 1777, the year of his demise. He held te post
of 1st Adikaram until the defats in the Dutch wars between
1762 and 1766 made him to be removed by Kirthi Sri Rajasinha
in favor of a new 1st Adikaram from the village of Angamanna
in Kandukara Ihala Korale Udapalatha. This was Samaradivakara
Wickramasinha Ilangakoon Senanayaka Rajapaksa Rajakaruna Mudiyanse
of Angammana who received a Sannasa from Kirthi Sri Rajasinha
and held the post of 1st Adikaram for 24 years, from 1766 to
1790.
The
relationship
between Uralawate Wickremasinha Loku Mudiyanse and Waradamune
Chandrasekera
Seneviratne Mudiyanse helps to establish the fact that
these two families were identified later on, by their
Wasagams, as "Pilimatalawe" and "Ehelepola", and
have long standing inter-family links.
Referring
to
Pilimatalawe,
the Pallegampahe 1st Adikaram who was executed in 1811, Paul E
Pieris in his work "The Sinhale and the Patriots", mentions -
"He is always spoken of as the uncle of the Maha Nilame".
The Maha Nilame, in this case is undoubtedly the 'Ehelepola
Pallegampaha 1st Adikaram' from 1811 to 1814.
According to the prevalent customs and relationships, to be
the uncle (Maama) of the last 'Ehelepola Adikaram', the person
has to be either the brother of the Adikaram's mother or his
father in law, botrh of which are referred to as "Maama". Due
to the long standing inter-family relationships between the Wijeyasundara
family of Waradamuna and the Wijeyasundara
family of Urulewatta established in earlier
generations, Ehelepola
'Jayatillaka
Disawa', the Maha Disawa of Uva and Disawa of
Nuwarakalaviya, had married the elder sister of Pilimatalawe
Pallegampahe Adikaram and became brother in law to the
very powerful and influential Pilimatalawe
1st Adikaram of the Kandyan Kingdom for nineteen
years, from 1790 to 1811. This is one reason why the much
talked about last Ehelepola
Pallegampahe 1st Adikaram from 1811 to 1814 is
referred to as the "Bena" (nephew) of the executed Pilimatalawe
1st Adikaram. This Mama-Bena (Uncle-Nephew) relationship
fits well into the traditional form of identification between
a man and his sisters son.
The
powerful
'Pilimatalawe
Maha
Adikaram' took charge of the Ihala Dolos Pattu. 'Ratwatte'
Nilame, a son in law of the Adikaram, took charge
of the Pahala Dolos Pattu of the Sath KJorale and was since
styled "Devamedda Disawa". When in November 1811, Pilimatalawe
the 1st Adikaram and his son in law 'Ratwatte
Devamedda Disawa', were executed for treason at
Hunukotuwa, which is near the Bodhi at Getambe in Kandy,
Ehelepola the 2nd Adikaram being "Udagampahe" was able
to succeed his maternal uncle as 1st Adikaram. This is why
Ehelepola Nilame came to be identified as "Pallegampahe"
since December 1811.

[Story
about the Madampe Baptist church as told to Anne-Marie by
Nihal Munasinha and Dora Wijesinghe: That 3 young male
students of the Baptist missionary Rev. Ebenezer
Daniel from England [he had arrived in Ceylon 1834 and at the
time of this story was Rev of Grandpass Baptist Church)
asked him where he was going. He said he was going to
pray for a church member whose house might be flooded. They
laughed at him because they were skeptical that prayer could
do anything, but followed behind to see what might happen. The
Missionary was on his knees praying that the waters would not
flood beyond where he was kneeling at
Kelani river during the great floods). Water
came near the Pastor, but did not go beyond to wreck the
house. A miracle happened. This touched the 3 men s lives.
These 3 were convinced of the faith in Jesus, and started
attending Grandpass Baptist Church.
They were instrumental in the missionaries going
to Madampe to establish
the Madampe Baptist Church. The 3 young men s
names: D Dabera (above), Cornelis Jayewardene, and D De Silva
Gooneratne, who was a Doctor. 1869 Corea and
Pandithesekera had asked that a church building be constructed
in Madampe. [According to Dora Wijesinghe s church research in
2011, Mr Sandaratne donated a piece of land in 1870, but
according to a legal case, Don Davith Dabera Wijesundera
Gunasekera donated major part but 3 pieces of land surveyed
together, second piece donated by CE Corea ].
Altogether 21 people donated to the church

the Grandpass Baptist Church).

The Urelawatte family is also supposed
to be direct descendants of Bhuvanekabahu VII. Research is
under way re. finding proper genealogy facts/documents etc.
If anyone has information pertaining to this, please contact
sgenweb@gmail.com.
The Urelawatte family branch fits in the Tudugala
family somehow. Any information is much
appreciated…..esp. from relatives). Past Sri Lankan
newspapers did apparently have some key information.

Subject: RE: Perera Family
In
a
book I found a detail of some Perera.
He
is
Johannes Louis Perera (Mudaliyar) b 1775.He had
received an award in 1819
from Governor Robert Brownrigg.I wonder if he is connected
to your Perera family.
