known to Dr van der Tuuk, at least they are not found in his collection, which is representative for nineteenth century Old Javanese and Javanese-Balinese literature known in North Bali. Probably the texts which are not found in the van der Tuuk collection partly belonged the literature of South Bali and Lombok, partly they did not yet exist, being written after van der Tuuk’s death in 1894. Javanese-Balinese kakawins of the nine teenth century were contemporaneous with the later Panji romances and various other romances written in tetjahan verse or in mixed macapat metres which will be dis cussed under subsequent heads of the present Synopsis (30.320). Both Balinese and Javanese poets of epic narratives had connections with their na tional wayat} theatres. For a considerable part wayarj plays were made out of episodes of the epics. In Bali the theatrical literature was less developed than in Java, and as a rule Balinese wayat) play performers kept closer to the original epic tale than later Javanese dalais did. The lengthy Javanese narrative poems of the nineteenth century were very much influenced by the theatre, which is apparent in the introduction of panakawan roles. Even in Balinese kakawins written in the Old Javanese style some influence of the wayait) theatre in modifica tions and insertion of scenes seems probable. Under the following heads kakawins of relatively recent date written in the Old Javanese literary idiom are registered. Prob ably practically all of them were written in Bali or Lombok, at least not in the period °f the Majapahit Kings, nor by Javanese Court poets. In 30.020 the Javanese-Balinese

kakawins of this kind have been mentioned as belonging to group C of minor kakawins (see also 30.135). The Dewatmaka seems to be partly narrative romantic, partly didactic. The A13 g a Bancana is completely allego rical. It deals with the struggle of passion and holiness for supremacy in the human soul. 30.191 D ewatmaka: cod. 4194 (= 10.515 = BCB prtf 23), 4195, 4196, 4197 (fragments). 30.192 Aijga Bancana: cod. 4050, 4051 (= 10.510 = BCB prtf 22), 5373 (in prose). The Wirata Wijaya and A r a- nyaka Parwa are poetical versions of well-known Mahabharata episodes. Both seem to be of recent date, perhaps nineteenth century. The Garuda is only a fragment. 30.193 Wirata Wijaya: cod. CB 66 (= BCB prtf 25, Krt 648). 30.194 Aranyaka Parwa: cod. RtMLV 28.857 (= 10.757). 30.195 Garuda kakawin: cod. 4698 (= 10.525 = BCB prtf 24). The Indra Wijaya and the W ë r- tantaka contain the tale of Indra’s victory over the demon Wërtra, and the episode of Nahusa. The three texts which are found in the manuscripts are different. 30.196 Indra Wijaya, Prajapati Suta Ni- yata, Nahusa Parajaya: cod. 5102 (= BCB prtf 22), 10.262 (Krt 2346). 30.197 W ërtantaka: cod. BCB prtf 26.
