A Sinhala-language title from Godage International Publishers, the Colombo house that publishes across Sinhala and English lists. The text is in Sinhala throughout, so readers will need to be comfortable in the language to use it; there is no English edition implied here.
The title translates roughly as the principles or doctrine of jyotisha — the astrological tradition that came to Sri Lanka from India and remains part of daily life on the island, consulted for marriages, for naming children and for the timing of ventures. Books of this kind sit in a long Sinhala publishing tradition of practical and doctrinal writing on horoscopy, and Godage carries a substantial astrology list alongside its literature and general non-fiction.
Piyasena Rathuwithana is the author.
It will suit readers of Sinhala with an existing interest in the subject: students of traditional astrology, practitioners building a working library, and members of the Sri Lankan diaspora who want titles in the language that are difficult to find outside the island. Readers without Sinhala should note that nothing in the volume is in English.
