The title names the Taurus ascendant — vṛṣabha lagnaya — one of the twelve rising signs used in the astrological tradition that is still widely consulted in Sri Lanka, where a horoscope is drawn at birth and referred to at marriages and other decisions. Readers who follow that tradition will know the term at once.
The book is written in Sinhala throughout, by S. M. W. Rajapaksha. There is no English text, so it will suit readers who are comfortable in Sinhala script — Sri Lankans abroad, students of the language at an advanced level, and anyone building a Sinhala-language collection on astrology and traditional belief.
It comes from Godage International Publishers, a Colombo house that publishes across Sinhala and English, with a long list in Sinhala non-fiction and traditional subjects. Books of this kind are produced for the domestic market and are not often seen outside Sri Lanka.
