Another very popular ro mance belonging to the Ménak Amir Hamza cycle is the Prabu Lara or Prabu Rara tale. It turns on the quest for the sword Kamkam, which is in the possession of a foreign prin cess. Amir Hamza’s grandsons appear in this tale.

In the course of time several other Ménak romances were written in Java. In his “Beschrijving” (1940) Poerbatjaraka characterized these

minor poems as offshoots of the great tree of the Ménak tales. In his opinion they are comparable with the numerous wayat} plays with plots diverging from the classical Pan- dawa tale, which were written by eighteenth and nineteenth century play-wrights. Both these sëmpalan and caravan wayat} plays and the Ménak offshoots may contain inter esting tales composed with elements bor rowed from old folk-tales and mythology. In several cases animals or animal-headed humans appear in the Ménak offshoots ro mances.
