songs". He showed the Sri Lankan musicians the correct path, and
answered the musicians of this country with his songs of creativity.
He
had a wonderful flowing voice to him and produced well-known tunes to give
away sub tunes.
He had a good knowledge to analyze songs hence he could produce "
Sarala songs "successfully. But he was never satisfied; therefore he
thoroughly studied and went further to use pure literature. Educated
people who were surrounding him too helped him to make his effort a
success.
