In the beginning of the Anuradhapura Period, the Gautama Buddha's tooth relic was smuggled into Sri Lanka ( www.flickr.com/photos/h_sinica/30276471141/in/album-72157... ). Its safeguard became a responsibility of the monarch. Over the years the custodianship of relic became the mandate to rule.

Reigning monarchs began to build tooth relic temples close to their royal residences.
