Chathubhanavarapali Hevath Piruwana poth Wahanse Sasarin Mideeme Maga Penwa Vadalha Gauthama Budurajhanan Vahanse

The Piruvana Poth Vahanse is an unmistakable sight in Buddhist pirith chanting ceremonies. The Buddhist monks enter a prearranged abode to chant the pirith holding the Piruvana Poth Vahanse. The book is much revered among the Buddhists as it contains the Buddha’s teachings. It is categorised into several divisions or Bhanavaras. The Chathubhanavarapali is the fourth (4th) division where the Pirith stanzas mainly chanted at religious occasions are included. Piruvana means to memorize in Pali. The mainstream suttas such as Dhammachakkappavattana Sutta and Parabhava Sutta are included out of the Bhanavaras.
