From Unesco’s writings on this world heritage site it is found that Joya de Ceren in the Department of La Libertad in El Salvador was buried under an eruption of the Laguna Caldera volcano in 600 c A.D.; an excavation of this site provides an insight into the nature of its inhabitants; scholars suggest that the inhabitants formed a farming community belonging to different social groups.

From the names of the volcanoes, it is evident that the migrants were from the royal family of Loma means ‘Rome’ who then belonged to the Naga or the serpent clan; Culodara was a Naga king of Ceylon. Caldera’s root is in ‘Culodara’ , and Loma Caldera refers to the Roman King Culodara; similarly Illapango belongs to the Naga clan who identifies a King in this name.

El Salvador identifies itself with a seat of worship because of ‘El’ attached to this name; use of the name ‘Sala’ or ‘Sulla’ or ‘Salva’ is very wide in ancient literature; Sala, Salha, Salavati, Salagama, Salva and Sarabhavati all identify themselves with name of a place in different texts written in different times of history; Salalaghara was a sacred place in Jetavana;  El Salvador  may also mark the Bhdra-sva(Sal-vador) country on the ‘east’ of the map of the Jambudvipa of Ptolemy or it may mean Sila-bhadra also.

Joya de Ceren pinpoints Jeyyapur , a place near Jetavana; Culani was the King of Uttara-pancahla; it also refers to Culaniya and Culaneyya of Pali texts. Karuna was name of an ancient clan some of whose members accompanied the Bodhi Tree’s transportation to Simhala-dvipa to provide security.
