Among the more than 70 known caves discovered by H.C. Bell on –>Ritigala, there are some on the Na-maluwa or Na-ulpota ridge to the west (note 1) of Ritigala Kanda itself. McALPINE & ROBSON (1983: 361), probably after PARANAVITANA (1970): One inscription (rock art: epigraphy) on a Na-ulpota cave reads: The cave of the Lord Mahatissa is given to the Sangha of the four quarters, present and absent (note 2).Among the more than 70 known caves discovered by H.C.
