Velaikkaras in Sri Lanka[edit]

In the Sri Lankan chronicle Cūḷavaṁsa (55.05, 63.24) there are several reference to Velaikkara soldiers in the 10-12 centuries. They were paid soldiers of the Sinhalese kings and not mercenaries. Their religion is mentioned as Matantra in an inscription by them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.43.88.249 (talk) 15:48, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
