Draft:Selalihini Sandeshaya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Selalihini Sandeshaya (Sinhala: සැළලිහිණි සන්දේශය, lit. 'Message from the hill myna') is a Sandesha Kavya written in the Kotte Era of Sinhalese literature by Thotagamuwe Sri Rahula Thera. It was written containing 111 stanzas, making it the shortest Sinhalese Sandesha Kavya in history.


Selalihini Sandeshaya is considered one of Rahula thero's greatest works. It had been written as a way of asking Vibhishana of Kelaniya to give Lokanatha, daughter of Parakramabahu VI of Kotte a son that could rule the kingdom.
