The extensive ruins at Bambaragasthalawa consist of several caves with drip ledges hewn on the brow of the entrance. According to a pre-christian cave inscription on one of the caves, its original name has been Nakapavatha. Therefore Nicholas has been concluded that this monastery is probably the Naga Pabbata Viharaya built by King Gotabhaya, ruler of the Rohana kingdom very early in the 2nd century BCE.
නාග පබ්බත සේනාසනය නම් තවමත් වන මැද හැංගුනු නටබුන් ගොඩක් පමණි. එදා රහතුන් වැඩ සිටි ගල්ලෙන් වල අද වාසය කරන්නේ වලසුන් සහ දිවියන්ය. වනගත මාවත කෙමෙන් රූස්ස ගස් වලින් ගහණ විය. ඒ සමඟ අහසට නැගුණු විසල් ගල් කුළු රැසක් දර්ශනය වෙමින් තිබිණි.
