During this period he progressed on work done by his uncle further. He constructed fourteen tanks including tanks Kantalai and Girithale.

During his reign time, the king of Kalinga came to Sri Lanka and became a monk due to fear of war. According to sources that should be due to invading of Chalukya king Pulakesin II (A.D.609-A.D.655) that happened in A.D.609.

After his throne was succeeded by his brother Sangha Tissa II. [2]
