A collection of the thun saranaya verses once sung by pilgrims walking to Sri Pada. Travellers on that route sang them out of devotion to the Buddha, and to keep loneliness and the emptiness of the climb at bay. The verses have been receding from everyday use, and this volume sets them down in print so that they remain available to later generations.
The book is written entirely in Sinhala, with no English text, so it will suit readers of Sinhala and those building a collection of Sinhala devotional and folk verse. Buyers outside Sri Lanka should be clear on that before ordering.
It comes from M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Colombo publishing house and bookseller whose list covers Sinhala and English titles. Readers with an interest in pilgrimage traditions, Sinhala oral poetry, or the religious culture that grew up around Sri Pada will find the material gathered here in one place.
