I'm assuming the reverse DNS lookup of 192.168.5.66 resolves to the
name main.mnetplus.lk, but a forward lookup of that name apparently
fails.

The Kerberos code will assume that the principal for the NFS server is
"nfs/main.mnetplus.lk@<REALM>".  What is the name of the principal
that you created and added a keytab entry for?

This discussion may be more appropriate on the nfs4 mailing list: 
nfsv4 at linux-nfs.org
