The remains offer an inadequate impression of what the Royal Palace must have originally looked like.
Weijantha Prasada的点评
点评：An article by four scholars from various Sri Lankan universities and institutes, published in the scientific journal "Civil Engineering and Architecture" (2017), proposed hypotheses regarding the actual appearance of the Royal Palace of Polonnaruwa (Vijayanta Prasada).
Among other things, they wrote: “The chronicles *Chulawansa* [presumed to date from the 13th century; editor's note] and *Mahawansa* describe the palace as a seven-story building with a thousand chambers. Although the main building could not possibly accommodate such a number of rooms, when considering the entire palace complex, this figure seems plausible”.
In any case, it was a vast complex; unfortunately, only partial ruins of the three lower brick stories remain. These levels show evidence of large openings in the walls designed to house the beams that supported the upper floors.
Like the adjacent Council Chamber and countless other buildings in Polonnaruwa, the palace was commissioned by King Parakramabahu I the Great (1153–1186).
Tragically, as a symbol of royal power — and thus a prime target — the palace was set ablaze in 1215 by the invader Kalinga Magha. This explains the disparity between the structure's original scale and its relatively modest remains.

翻译：由来自斯里兰卡多家大学和研究所的四位学者撰写、发表于科学期刊《土木工程与建筑》（2017年）上的一篇文章，提出了关于波隆纳鲁沃王宫（Vijayanta Prasada）真实样貌的假设。
文中写道：“《Chulawansa》[据推测成书于13世纪；编者注]与《Mahawansa》这两部编年史均将该王宫描述为一座拥有七层楼、一千个房间的建筑。”虽然主建筑绝无可能容纳如此多的房间，但考虑到整个宫殿群的规模，这一数字似乎是合理的。”
无论如何，那确实是一座规模宏大的建筑群；遗憾的是，如今只留下下面三层砖结构建筑的零星遗迹。这些楼层上有大量墙洞的痕迹，显然是用来安置支撑上层楼板的梁木的。
与毗邻的议事厅以及波隆纳鲁沃的无数其他建筑一样。这座宫殿是由伟大的帕拉克拉马巴胡一世国王（1153–1186）下令建造的。
不幸的是，作为王权的象征——因而也成了主要攻击目标——该宫殿于1215年被入侵者卡林加·马加纵火焚毁。这也解释了为何如今遗留下来的宫殿遗迹在规模上远不及当初的宏伟程度。
