troops, got the mastery of Dipa Nagara’s followers. The prince was exiled and died in Makasar in 1855. He left an autobio graphic history written in the authentic Javanese babad style, beginning with a gene alogy. In the twentieth century Dipa Nagara is venerated as a nationalist and a fighter for the independence of Indonesia. The Dipa Nagara troubles had important consequences for the political and economic development of Java. Several Javanese Dipa Nagara histories were written, and Dutch historians wrote books based on official papers and army reports. The Babad Dipa Nagara written by a Javanese gentleman who after the war was made Regent of Purwarcja as a reward for his services, was published in the nineteenth century. The original was called Buku Këclup, Këbo after the old name of the town of Purwarëja.

Though on the whole both Surakarta Courts, the Kasu- nanan and the Mapkunagaran, were anta gonistic to the Yogyakarta insurgents, some times the Susuhunan seemed to waver. In Javanese literature one episode of Surakarta history of the time is called Babad Pakepup Surakarta, after a temporary encirclement of the town, effectuated by Mapkunagaran troops, in order to prevent the infiltration of insurgents coming from the countryside. Another episode ended in the exile of the Surakarta King Paku Buwana VI, whose behaviour was equivocal. Afterwards he was called Bapun Tapa, on account of the ascetic practices he was supposed to favour. The latter episode, of 1830, was described in a separate historical text, called Babad Bapun Tapa or Nonah Kuwi, after the Chinese girl who was the exile’s consolation in Ambon. 27.610 History of Paku Buwana VI Bapun Tapa: cod. 2328 (= 10.741 = BCB prtf 221), 8988 (Nonah Kuwi). 27.800 Suryèpalaga incident, Yogyakarta.
