Item ප්රතිනිර්මාණිත ආඛ්යාන කාව්යකරණයෙහි ලා ජාතක සාහිත්යයෙහි දායකත්වය (සිරිලාල් කොඩිකාරගේ කනේරුමල් කාව්යය ඇසුරිනි)(Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2016) Madhusanka, H.A.G.Kanerumal was the Narrative poetry composed by Sirilal Kodikara in 1992. Its source included Sinhalese Pansiya Panas Jataka Pota and the Kanavera Jataka. Kanerumal was presented with another narrative poetry called Manasavila. The Prostitute, Sama was the main character of Kanerumal. According to the traditional tale she was a capricious woman. Kodikara has challenged the basic meaning of the Jataka tale. There was an ironical outlook towards the basic meaning of the traditional Jataka story. In the reconstruction, the poet has generated a revolutionary ideology of Woman. He has tried to expose the present sociopolitical background in Sri Lanka. Thus, Kanerumal is one of the important modern narrative poetry in Sri Lanka.
