This Ceremony lasteth but for one Night.
[The Festival in honour of the God of the Soul.] And these are their Anniversary Feasts to the honour of those Gods, whose power extends to help them in this Life; now follows the manner of their Service to the Buddou, who it is, they say, that must save their Souls, and the Festival in honour of him.
To represent the memorial of him to their eye, they do make small Images of Silver, Brass, and Clay, and Stone, which they do honour with Sacrifices and Worship, shewing all the signs of outward reverence which possibly they can.

In most places where there are hollow Rocks and Caves, they do set up Images in memorial of this God.

Unto which they that are devoutly bent, at New and Full Moons do carry Victuals, and worship.
His great Festival is in the Month of March at their New-years Tide.

The Places where he is commemorated are two, not Temples, but the one a Mountain and the other a Tree; either to the one or the other, they at this time go with Wives and Children, for Dignity and Merit one being esteemed equal with the other.
The Mountain is at the South end of the Countrey, called Hammalella, but by Christian People, Adam's Peak, the highest in the whole Island; where, as has been said before, is the Print of the Buddou's foot, which he left on the top of that Mountain in a Rock, from whence he ascended to Heaven.

Unto this footstep they give worship, light up Lamps, and offer Sacrifices, laying them upon it, as upon an Altar.
