After failing to surrender (after 3 weeks of notice), the exasperated King dismissed Ehelepola, confiscated his lands, and ordered the imprisonment and execution of his wife and children.

To say he was cruel does not mean much, for cruel Kings and nobles were not rare in those days; and it is questionable whether all the cruel deeds attributed to Sri Vickrama Rajasinha were of his own devising or done by his authority.

Rajasinha's Royal Standard. In September 1945 it was proposed in an address to the State Council that the flag be adopted as Sri Lanka's national flag: </p> <blockquote> <p>"This House is of opinion that the Royal Standard of King Sri Vikrama Rajasinha depicting a yellow lion passant holding a sword in its right paw on a red background, which was removed to <a href="/wiki/England" title="England">England</a> after the Convention of 1815, should once again be adopted as the official flag of Free Lanka." </p> </blockquote> <p><a href="/wiki/Kandy_Lake" title="Kandy Lake">Kandy Lake</a>, an artificial lake overlooking the palace in Kandy, was commissioned by Sri Vikrama Rajasinha. </p><p>The Paththirippuwa or Octagon of the Sri Dalada Maligawa, is widely regarded as the epitome or the most admired symbol and representation of Kandyan Sinhalese Architecture. It was built in 1802 A.D. by Devendra Mulachari, Master Craftsman and Royal Architect, on the instructions of King Sri Vikrama Rajasinha. </p><p>During Sri Vikrama Rajasinha's time as a royal prisoner in <a href="/wiki/Vellore_Fort" title="Vellore Fort">Vellore Fort</a> he received a <a href="/wiki/Privy_purse" class="mw-redirect" title="Privy purse">privy purse</a>, which his descendants continued to receive from the Government of <a href="/wiki/Ceylon" class="mw-redirect" title="Ceylon">Ceylon</a> until 1965.
