about

Asadrusha Vannama

Recital in praise of the Buddha, the Supreme Being unequalled. Also, Asadrusha Vannama is an eulogy to the Triple Gem, Buddha, Dhamma & Sangha : “I pay homage to the lotus feet of the Lord Buddha, honoured by kings, Brahmas, Vishnu and other Gods. I adore the Dhamma proclaimed by the Great Lord, salute the noble Eightfold Path. I pay homage to Sariputta & Moggallana who renounced the world to follow The Buddha. Singing to all assembled, I dance with joy the delightful Vannama of this”.

lyrics

Lyrics of the Kaviya of Asadrusha Vannama

මුනිඳුන් දම් සඟ සැරියුත් වැඳගනිමින්
සැම ඇති දොස හැර බිඳ මෙවදන්
ඉසි බස ලෙස නිවරද පවසන්නෙමි සබයේ

සුරිඳුන් විස්කර්ම පළමු පද සතරින්
ඉසුරිඳු හැට හතරද ගදඹුන්
වැයු දෙසිය සොලොස් පද එනමෙන් දිව පුරයේ

නිරිඳුන් සම්මත මුල පටුනද දකිමින්
සුරවර බැස මෙලොවද කෙරුවෙන්
දෙලොවෙහි විය සඳු සඳ ගනිමින් නැත මතයේ

රඟදුන් සැටි වී පිරියද ‍යෙදුවෙන්
පිළිවෙල ඉසි නාරද ස්වරයෙන්
ගණනින් ඇති තාලද වන්නම අසදෘශයේ

Munindun Dam Sanga Seriyuth Vendaganimin
Sema Ethi Dosa Hera Binda Mevadan
Isi Basa Lesa Nivarada Pavasannemi Sabaye

Surindun Wiskarma Palamu Pada Satarin
Isurindu Heta Hatharada Gadambun
Veyu Desiya Solos Pada Enamen Diva Puraye

Nirindun Sammatha Mula Patunada Dakimin
Surawara Besa Melovada Keruven
Delovehi Viya Sanda Sanda Ganimin Netha Mathaye

Rangadun Seti Vee Piriyada Yeduven
Pilivela Isi Narada Swarayen
Gananin Ethi Thalada Vannama Asadrushaye
