about

Ganapathi Vannama

Recital in praise of the God Ganesha. This enjoins men to win the favours of the God. It Recites, “Graceful in form – with the head of an elephant – tusks half emerged – face pink – gently waving ears like the lotus leaves – eyes coloured with collyrium – forehead spotted with the sapphire – arms hanging loose - and Goddesses flanking the sides”.

lyrics

Lyrics of the Kaviya of Ganapathi Vannama

යුත් සිරින් බබලන - ඇත් හිසින් සසොබන
වෙත් දළින් අඩ දැන - ගනු සුදනා

රත් පියුම් වැනි මුඛ - යුත් වසන් ලෙලදෙන
නෙත් අඳුන් නිල්මිණ - කුඹුර මනා

අත් උරින් පහතින - වෙත් සුරන් සිරුරින
‍යුත් නිතින් දෙවඟන - දෙදෙනෙකි නා

ගත් නැණින් ‍යුතු සුරිඳෙක් බැවින් ඉසිදැන
වෙත් මෙවන් ගනපති වන්නම් නා

Yuth Sirin Babalana - Eth Hisin Sasobana
Veth Dalin Ada Dena - Ganu Sudana

Rath Piyum Veni Mukha - Yuth Vasan Leladena
Neth Andun Nilmina - Kumbura Mana

Ath Urin Pahathina - Veth Suran Sirurina
Yuth Nithin Devagana - Dedeneki Na

Gath Nenin Yuthu Surindek Bevin Isidena
Veth Mevan Ganapathi Vannam Na
