about
Recital of the Emerald (Vairodi, the green cat’s eye precious gem). This Vannama pictures the palace of God Iswara -at the top of Mount Kailasa, vibrant like the Emerald. It concludes with the moral “the wicked make false boasts and are detestable – the learned are always triumphant”.
lyrics
අගය වඩන කවි වරුණා
රඟය දැනෙයි කල රචනා
මට උරණා නොව මෙදින
මහතුගෙ අවසර ...... රැගෙන සමාවා
ඉසුරු දෙවිඳු වඩින දිනා
කෙහෙතු විමන දැක නෙතිනා
එම විමනා දෙවි වඩිනා
කෙහෙතුද දැක කොයි ...... වඩිති කමාවා
විමන සමග කෙහෙතු ගැනා
ඉසුරු දෙවිඳු තුති දෙමිනා
මෙම වරුණා කල යෙහෙනා
පාතල විරොඩි වන්නම මේවා
ඔබින මෙසබ තුල පැමිනා
කවිය නැතුව බොරු වරුණා
කල දුදනා නැත ඔබිනා
උගතුගෙ බල වැඩි මොකද පමවා
Agaya Vadana Kavi Varuna
Rangaya Denei Kala Rachana
Mata Urana Nova Medina
Mahathuge Awasara ...... Regena Samawa
Isuru Devindu Wadina Dina
Kehethu Vimana Deka Nethina
Ema Vimana Devi Vadina
Kehethuda Deka Koi ...... Wadithi Kamawa
Vimana Samaga Kehethu Gena
Isuru Devindu Thuthi Demina
Mema Varuna Kala Yehena
Paathala Vairodi Vannama Mewa
Obina Mesaba Thula Pemina
Kaviya Nethuwa Boru Varuna
Kala Dudana Netha Obina
Ugathuge Bala Wedi Mokada Pamawa
