A Sinhala-language title from Godage International Publishers, written by V.D.S. Gunawardana and issued under the Colombo house's general list.
The title names one of the landmarks of classical Sinhala prose. A gäṭapadaya is a glossary of difficult words, and the Jātaka Atuvā Gäṭapadaya is the gloss traditionally compiled to explain the vocabulary of the Pali commentary on the Jātaka birth stories. Books carrying this name belong to the study of early Sinhala and its relationship with Pali.
Buyers outside Sri Lanka should know that the text is in Sinhala throughout, set in Sinhala script. There is no English translation or parallel text, so reading fluency in Sinhala is needed to use it.
It will suit students and teachers of Sinhala language and literature, readers working on Pali and Buddhist commentarial material, and Sri Lankan families abroad building a Sinhala-language shelf at home.
