In the N agar a Kërtagama Sakabda or Saka Kala is mentioned as the name of another of Prapanca’s works. It is not certain at all that the present Saka Kala is the fourteenth century poem in question. The codex contains two other short kakawins, most probably of recent date. 30.210 Saka Kala: cod. AdKIT 1382/2 (— BCB prtf 164). The S aH y a 13 Kala is an example of the Balinese authors’ aptitude at making new versions of old tales. The poem contains the myth of the man-eater Kala being exor cised by Guru and Sri riding on a bull, which is very popular in Bali. Probably the poem is not old at all. 30.211 Sai3 Hyarj Kala: cod. 10.118 (Krt 2101). The Dharma K u s u m a, the Rama Parasu Wijaya and the Rama Kanda are again based on ancient epic tales. The authors were Balinese connois seurs of the wayai} theatre. A Dharma Kusuma tale in prose is registered in 30.219. 30.213 Dharma Kusuma: cod. 9982 (Krt 1840). 30.214 Rama Parasu Wijaya and Rama Kanda (Satrughna): cod. 3887, CB 43, BCB prtf 25 (Krt 586), CB 41 (= BCB prtf 26, Krt 628, Rama Kanda).

30.215 J a v a n e s e-B alinese epic prose tales. Beside the Old Javanese kakawin tradition, the Old Javanese line of epic tales in prose, beginning with the prose versions of Mahabharata parwas (see 20.100), was also continued by Balinese authors. They wrote prose adaptations of well-known Old Javanese epic poems, and epic tales in Ja- vanese-Balinese literary prose style, probably related to wayai} plays. The Javanese-Balinese epic prose tales seem to have been written in the nineteenth century, or even later. They are comparable with the later belletristic romances, poetical versions of epic tales, which are registered under another head of the present Part Three (30.320). 30.216 Ratna Kanda, Purusada and Suta- soma tale in prose: cod. 9159 (Krt 133). 30.217 Sida Budi Tatwa, prose tale of Arjuna’s descendants: cod. 9454 (Krt 772 = CB 91). 30.218 Wacana Bérawa, prose tale of alter cations of Bérawa with the Pandawas: cod. 3854 (= 10.469 = BCB prtf 8), 5111. 30.219 Dharma Kusuma, prose tale of Yudhisthira, before the Wirata episode: cod.
