Virasundara was een Ceilonees krijgsheer die aan het eind van de zestiende eeuw ter dood werd veroordeeld. Op deze manier hoopte Rajasingha, de koning van Kandy, Sri Lanka, de interne rust te herstellen en de Portugezen op afstand te kunnen houden. Het vonnis werd uitgevoerd door houten ballen naar zijn hoofd te gooien tot hij overleed.English: Virasundara is put to death.
