Rajavaliya (line of kings) is an ancient chronicle of Sri Lanka.^[1] It contains the history of King Vijaya to King Vimaladharmasuriya ΙΙ. It is the only chronicle which contains continuous history of Sri Lanka written in Sinhalese language.^[2]

Rajavaliya considered as an secondary source when it using to study history, because it was based on pali chronicles like Mahavamsa and Deepavamsa
