the complete work of the “ Janaki-harana.” Mr. D’Alwis had frankly 
confessed his inability to procure further materials, and so he was 
content with restoring to us only ten verses of the entire work. 
It is a pity that Bhikshu Dharmarama should have thought it fit to 
publish his edition of the Janaki-harana in the Singhalese character, 
which is not intelligible to many of us. I believe, if the production were 
transliterated into Roman or Devanagari character, it would be sure to 
receive the recognition it deserves at the hands of many Oriental scholars. 
I beg to submit the first forty-two verses of Canto I, which I have 
transliterated into the Devanagari character. I rejoice to say that, in 
my humble opinion, true signs of poetic genius can be seen from the verses 
I have already transliterated.* (See Appendix II.)
