Jagan Moohini Madhura Bhashini


ජගන් මෝහිණී මධුර භාෂිණී 


ජගන් මෝහිණී මධුර භාෂිණී
චාරු දේහිණී කමල වාචිනී
සරස්‌වතී දේවී වන්දේ සරස්‌වතී දේවී

කම්පිත කංචන මලා කූචිත
කිංකිණි නූපුර ජාලා
පාද සරෝජේ කටී තටාකේ
චංචල නර්තන ලීලා

මීන මකර පංකජ රූපාකුල
අංකික කුංකුම රේඛා
පූර්ණ කුම්භ මික පීන පයෝධර
පූරිතාමෘත ධාරා

භාග්‍ය සාධන පුණ්‍ය මුර්ති ධර
සුරපුර වර අභිරූපා
දේහි දේහි වර දායක හස්‌තේ
ශුභ මංගල මුද්‍රා

About siger -
Wannakuwatta Mitiwaduge Don Albert Perera (Sinhala: වන්නකුවත්ත මිටිවඩුගේ දොන් ඇල්බට් පෙරෙරා; born 5 December 1927) inMoratuwa, Sri Lanka, better known by his adopted name Amaradeva, is a Sri Lankan singer, fiddler and composer. Primarily using traditional instruments like sitars, tablas and harmoniums, Amaradeva incorporates Sinhala folk music with Indian ragas in his work. Many consider Pandit Amaradeva’s contribution to the development of Sinhala music as unmatched.

In the mid-1950s, Amaradeva in his Janagayana project consulted experts of the Kandyan dance tradition like Pani Bharata, Kiriganita, Gunamala, Ukkuva and Suramba in his path to understand what constituted Sinhala folk music. Noting that it mostly revolved around a single melody, he decided to add verses that would lead up to the central melody which would now be a chorus thus forming two parts (unseen earlier in traditional Sri Lankan music) removing restrictions that had existed earlier. In doing so, Amaradeva created a uniquely Sinhalese music style that stayed true to folk tradition while incorporating outside influences.
