How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved, 1593. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
Sitawaka disintegrated soon after the death of its last king Rajasinha I in 1593.

2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1521 – 1593. Median reign 36 years. 0 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
