और हे प्रभु, अब जबकि तूने मुझे अपनी पहचान का ज्ञान फिर से दे दिया है, तो मुझ पर अपनी क्षमा की वर्षा कर, क्योंकि तेरी असीम दया का इससे बड़ा प्रमाण और क्या होगा कि तूने क्रूस पर लटके हुए दिमास (सच्चे चोर का पारंपरिक नाम) और फाँसी के फंदे पर लटके हुए डोमिनिकस कोरिया को माफ कर दिया। यदि नरक में पापियों के लिए जगह है, तो स्वर्ग में पश्चाताप करने वालों के लिए भी जगह है।
And now that Thou has restored to me the knowledge of Thyself, O Lord, let thy pardon fall on me, since Thy infinite mercy is not better known in anything than in pardoning a Dismas (the traditional name of the good thief) on the Cross and a Dominicus Corea on the gallows. If in Hell there is room for sinners, in Heaven also there is room for penitents.

हालाँकि शुरुआत से ही कोट्टे पर पुर्तगालियों के आधिपत्य का विरोध होता रहा था। जब धर्मपाल जीवित थे, तब दो बड़े विद्रोह हुए थे—एक 1594 में अकारागामा अप्पुहामी के नेतृत्व में और दूसरा 1594-96 में एदिरील्ले राला के नेतृत्व में।
From the beginning however, there was resistence to Portuguese mastery over Kotte. While Dharmapala was alive there were two major revolts, one led by Akaragama Appuhamy in 1594, and the other by Edirille rala in 1594-96.

हमारे इतिहास के कुछ सबसे वीर और रंगीन व्यक्तित्व सबरागमुवा की ही संतानें हैं—दिदिगामा में जन्मे पराक्रमबाहु प्रथम, शूरवीर राजा राजसिंघे प्रथम जिन्हें सीतावाका राजसिंघा के नाम से भी जाना जाता है, कोलंबो में जन्मे और डोमिंगो कोरिया के रूप में बपतिस्मा पाने वाले एदिरील्ले राला, जो सीतावाका के पास अपने पूर्वजों के गाँव अतुलुगामा लौटे और पुर्तगालियों के खिलाफ हो गए।
Some of the very heroic and colourful figures in our history are sons of Sabaragamuwa - Parakramabahu I, born in Dedigama, the warrior King Rajasinghe I also known as Sitawaka Rajasingha, Edirille Rala born in Colombo and baptised Domingo Corea, who returned to the village of his ancestors Atulugama near Sitawaka and turned against the Portuguese.

डोमिनिकस कोरिया के मरणोपरांत उनका एक पुत्र हुआ, लुईस कोरिया, जो ऊवा के दिसावे बने। सर पॉल पीरिस ने लिखा कि 'डोमिनिकस कोरिया के हटने के बाद, सैन्य अभियानों में कुछ समय के लिए शांति आई, जिसका फायदा उठाकर पुर्तगाली अधिकारियों ने उस लालच को खुली छूट दे दी जिसने पूर्व में उनके इतिहास पर अक्सर कलंक लगाया है।' डोमिनिकस कोरिया के बाद उनके भाई साइमन सात कोराले, कोट्टे और सीतावाका के दिसावे बने।
Dominicus Corea had a posthumous son, Lewis Corea who became the Dissawe of Uva. Sir Paul Peiris wrote that `With the disappearance of Dominicus Corea, came a short lull in military operations of which the Portuguese officials availed themselves to give free rein to that rapacity which so frequently disgraced their careers in the East'. Dominicus Corea was succeeded by his brother Simon, as Dissawe of the Sat Korale, Kotte and Sitawaka.
