- Stone_inscriptions_in_Sri_Lanka abstract "The number of stone inscriptions which have been found in Sri Lanka upto date is over 4000.But these inscriptions are of different types.Considering their locations and their appearances,for the ease of studying,they are classified as follows. Cave Inscriptions Rock Inscriptions Slab Inscriptions Pillar InscriptionsFrom the name itself it's easy to understand what type of these inscriptions are.Cave inscriptions can be found in Mihintala,Wessagiriya, Sithulpawwa, Ritigala.Some examples for the rock inscriptions are Galwala inscription,the bilingual inscription found in Gadaladeniya and Alawala inscription.Polonnaruwa galpotha inscription,Mihintale slab inscription and Thonigala inscription are examples for the slab inscriptions.Badulla inscription and Katugahagalge inscription are classified under pillar inscriptions.Cave inscriptions are found to be the oldest type of inscriptions.They are inscribed below the drip ledge (katarama) of caves.These are seen almost in every cave belonging to the early period.At the beginning the inscriptions had two or three short lines containing the information about donations made to bhikkus.But after the 2nd century A.C according to the Mihintale inscription,Jethavanaramaya sanskrit inscription and Badulla pillar inscription the inscriptions have got lengthy descriptions.Inscription on Abhayagiri terrace has 16 long lines.The inscription on the terrace of Dakunu Vihara is spread out on 17 slabs. Some inscriptions were produced in multiple copies. Thirteen copies of the Vevalkatiya inscription of Udaya IV were placed in various part of the Rajarata.After the 10th century A.C these have become more descriptive because they contained appreciations made for some kings.Some of the uses of these inscriptions are, to fill the gaps in some historic facts to get evidence for the historic facts to know information which have not been written in books to know about the ancient methods of controlling the temples to know the ancient methods of administrating the countries to know the old social traditions and customs to get information about the economy of ancient sri lanka to get a knowledge about the evolution of the language and the letters to get other cultural records to know different symbols used for different purposes to know sinhala grammar to know the names o the kings,rural kings and princes to know the designations of the royal officers to get an idea about the trade and industries in e ancient country to get information about the religious activities and other religious beliefs".
