author’s “Javaanse Volksvertoningen” and “Java in the XIVth Century” (see the indexes). In Bali the Calon Arat) tale is very popu lar ; it is connected with the barov, exorcism. Several poetical texts, written in Bali in various metres, are in evidence. In the General Index relevant manuscripts have been registered under the catchword Calon Aran,. 30.226 Old Javanese Calon Arat), prose: cod. 4561, 4562, 5279, 5387. 30.227 Calon Arai3, poetical version in tërjahan metre: cod. 3581 (= 3963-V), 3784 (= 3934 = 4563 = 10.471), 4564, 4565. 30.228 Calon Aral} poetical version in adri metre: cod. 3948-V, 4566, 4567. 30.229 Calon Arat), poetical version (marked n.b.) in durma metre: cod. 3612, 4569. 30.230 Calon Arat}, poetical version in durma metre, variant: cod. 4568 (version n.), 9594 (Krt 1047). 30.231 Calon Arat) fragment: cod. 10.668 (the original was illustrated). 30.235 The Suda Mala is another mythic poem, containing the tale of Durga being exorcised by Sadéwa, the youngest of the Pandawa brothers. Evidently the tale is closely related to Javanese wayat) plays. This was justly remarked by van Stein Callenfels, who edited the poem and trans lated it into Dutch (“De Sudamala in de l ‘Hindu-Javaansche Kunst”, KBG vol. 66, 1926). The tale is the subject-matter of a series of reliefs in stone on the walls of candi Téga Wai)i in East Java, which dates

from the fourteenth century. Apparently at that time the Suda Mala tale was well- known. The metre used in the Suda Mala is an original Javanese, so-called macapat metre (see 00050). 30.236 Suda Mala: cod. 3893, 3991, 4515, 4516, 4517, REM 22-1. 30.240 The Sri Tanjut) poem is located in the Javanese district of Banuwarp or Blambai)an, opposite the island of Bali. It is known also in Bali itself. The Sri Tanjut) and the following poems are not strictly exorcist tales. They turn on dangerous quests for spiritual treasures, medicines, Water of Life and esoteric wisdom, to be found in the world of the gods. Probably these tales are at least partly of indigenous Javanese origin, related to ancient myths of cultural heroes (cf. 30.275). The Sri Tanjut} is written in original Javanese metres. The poem was edited and translated into Dutch by Prijono (“Sri Tanjut), een Javaans ver- “haal”, 1938). In Dr van der Tuuk’s opinion the Suda Mala and Sri Tanjut) poems belong to the same period. 30.241 Sri Tanjut), older Javanese versions: cod. 3126 (= 10.646 = 10.651), 3184 (= 4513 = 10.652), 3623 (= 3866), 3801 (= 4499), 3863, 4500 (= 10.647), 4501 (= 10.648 = 10.653), 4502 (= 10.649 — 10.654).
