"__ Lanka Matha": South Asian national anthem (3)

I believe the answer is:

sri

(Other definitions for sri that I've seen before include "Indian address" , "... Lanka, formerly Ceylon" , "Country formerly Ceylon" , "Indian title of respect" , "Asian gentleman" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
