There were permanent land grants carrying heritable rights in perpetuity which were known from the 9th century onwards as ‘pamunu’ lands. These grants were recorded on rock and pillar inscriptions or as copper plate grants. Pamunu lands were sometimes given as rewards. Kottanage inscription records that king Sirisangabo granted pamunu properties to general Arakmena for his valour in expelling the Colas. |
