The evidence of Sri Lanka ensures that aim of Tambalinga kingdom is to hold the Buddha Relic. Another view shows that Tambalinga kingdom wants to control trade route of sea because of decay and decline of Chola Empire during this time. Religious speaking, both country assists mutual. Previously, the Lankavamsa spreads and is well known for the countries of the south-east Asia. For the time of Dambadeniya kingdom, Buddhism in Sri Lanka reaches degeneration because of continual war. Buddhist monks of Tambalinga kingdom are invited for revival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka.
