Note 2 — The Kulē-bakā Flowers
H. (Henry) Parker translation
On account of the strangeness of this speech, I give the Sinhalese words as they were written: Umba kaburupanjāti jāti umbē muna (sic.) penenḍawat epā. Umbaṭa hena waediyāmin umbē jātakayā ganin. It appears to be a Rabelaisian joke, and was considered such by the person who narrated it. ↑
