The current version says that The Sinhalese name Kadurugoḍa is thought to have been derived from Kadiragoda, substituting the Tamil suffix malai with the Sinhalese suffix goḍa, both denoting the meaning of mountain. In Tamil the word malai means the mountain but in Sinhalese it normally means the mound or heap. The second dubious thing is that it says The name Kadiragoḍa is mentioned in the 15th century Sinhalese text Nampota. But in the Nampota under the section Demala Pattanama the vihara name is mentioned as Kadurugoda viharaya not as Kadiragoda. However these both statements have been given with following references
Now I have a clear dubious situation regarding reliability of aforesaid references.-- L Manju ( talk) 05:29, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi L Manju. Could you provide sources supporting your statements regarding the term goda and also Nampota. I also suggest you to read the policies behind the tags that you put on most of the articles. According to WP:DUBIOUS should it be discussed on the talk page before putting on the tags. Just a little reminder for next time. Xenani ( talk) 22:36, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

According to the government given dictionary (Sinhala Dictionary Office) results the word Goda doesn't mean the mountain.
The name Kadiragoda is not mentioned in the Nampota. It is Kadurugoda viharaya-- L Manju ( talk) 03:25, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi L Manju. The WP:DUBIOUS says under "Disputed statement" that the problem should be discussed in the talk page before adding the tag, so it didn't seem constructive when you reverted my removal. You could have put it after we had discussed and didn't find consensus at least. When it comes to the word goda, it seems that you are right and I will make an edit on it. Secondly the Nampota part is indeed confusing. Both references mentioned it as Kadiragoda and the second source is pretty reliable. However your sources mention it as Kadurugoda Viharaya. I will make a note on it on the article. Xenani ( talk) 08:40, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi L Manju. Yes you are right, the source refer to a statement made by C. Rasanayagam. I think it is safer to just write that Rasanayagam derives the word Kadurugoda from Kadiramalai instead. Xenani ( talk) 18:29, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
This is the statement - "Researchers have a favourable opinion that Kantharodai was the capital of the Jaffna kings of the Naga lineage". I have following questions. 1) What is the so called Naga lineage of Jaffna Kings? 2) What are the historical references giving information about these Jaffna Kings? 3) Please give clear archaeological evidences (such as inscriptions, building ruins of the royal capital of Kantharodai of these Naga lineage Kings, reliable literary sources). And also please give some research articles elaborating about this Kantharodai-the capital of the Jaffna kings of the Naga lineage (hope you will provide the complete research articles (not trivial parts) published by mainstream archaeologists or historians) -- L Manju ( talk) 06:14, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
"Researches on the probable capital of the Naga line of kings of Jaffna, favour the present village of Kantharodai as the site of the Naga capital of Jaffna.
