A Sinhala-language title from Godage International Publishers, the Colombo house that publishes across fiction, scholarship and general non-fiction in both Sinhala and English. The author is Dr. Bihesh Indika Sampath.
The text is entirely in Sinhala script. Anyone ordering from outside Sri Lanka should be comfortable reading Sinhala, or be buying for someone who is — there is no parallel English text.
The title itself is built from terms that will be familiar to readers who have studied Sinhala and Sanskrit literary vocabulary: chandas, metre, and alankāra, figure or ornament of speech. Readers with that background will recognise the register the title is written in.
It will suit Sinhala readers abroad who like to keep up with books published at home, and university and community libraries building Sinhala-language holdings in literature and letters, where titles printed in Sri Lanka are otherwise hard to come by.
