| 摘要 | The two major ecological zones, which were controlled by two royal centers: the dominant Rajarata kingdom with its capital in Anuradhapura, and the satellite principality of Ruhuna, that was centred at Magama(De Silva, 1981: 10ff). In this sense, the ancient Magama capital of Ruhuna emerged as a significant political region during Anuradhpura period. At the time when the authority of the kingdom of Anuradhpura over other kingdoms in the country became more authoritarian, the establishment of monasteries hastened the acceptance of Buddhism as a religion of the people, especially under royal patronage. The urban or hub monastery was a distinct monastic type that appeared between the first century BC and the fourth century AD, and is commonly established in close proximity to the cities of ancient Ceylon. The stupa, acting as the hub or the central location of the monastic layout, is a major feature in these elaborate monasteries. The examples of the hub monasteries include the Mahavihara, the Mirisaweti, the Dhakkinagiri, the Abhayagiri, the Jetavana, the Lankarama and the Thuparama in the city of Anuradhapura. One of the main architectural characteristics of the hub monasteries in Magama is that the four stupas such as Tissamaharama, Sandagirim, Menik and Yatala have been constructed in a straight line along the east-west axis. The term centric monasteries, is now used by Sri Lankan archaeologists. It was Bandaranayake(1974) who applied this term first. It may be assumed that the emergence of the hinterland. Having observed the hierarchy of a monastic culture in early society, it may be suggested that the hub monastery concept may have emerged at the peak of state power in the early cities in Sri Lanka. This functional significance leads us to investigate the two major types of monastic settlements such as the avasas and the aramas. The aim of this paper is to examine the Urban monastic type and architectural characteristics in the ancient magama city. The monastic units sympathetically reflect the social organization of the country in various ways. These represented the different functions related to specific, geographical and social conditions in the various region, thereby, symbolizing the community positions and their related association. These characteristics, no doubt, suggest that the Buddhist monasteries tended to represent specific features of different communities along with state patronage during the Anuradhapura period. |
