Monaguna, lived in the reign of King Warsa Jaya of Kadiri. So it dates from the same period as the Krsnayana: the beginning of the twelfth century. Juynboll made a colla tion of the poem with Kalidasa’s Raghu Waijsa (BKI vol. 50, 1891). The Javanese-Balinese adaptation in so- called tërjahan metre, probably written in Bali in the eighteenth century, will be dis cussed separately (30.321). 30.041 Sumanasantaka kakawin, complete: cod. 4519 (= 4520), 5021. 30.042 Sumanasantaka kakawin, fragments: cod. 3777 (= 3913-11), 4986 (glossed), 5015, 5093. 30.050 The Smara Dahana (major kakawin, group A) contains the tale of Siwa begetting Ganesa with Uma. Siwa, angry at Kama Jaya’s interference with his ascetic celibate life, burnt the god of sensual love with a glance of his divine third eye. Ganesa, the elephant god, was born in order to 1 assist the gods in their struggle with the demon King Nila Rudraka, who was vanquished in the end. The kakawrin was written by mpu Dhar- maja who' lived at the Count of a King of Kadiri called Kameswara, whose reign, either in the first or in the last decades of the twelfth century, is not well known. Some connection between the subject-matter of the poem, the Burning of the God of Love, and the Royal name Kameswara is evident. The Smara Dahana has been edited and translated into Dutch by Poerbatjaraka (KBG Bibl. Javanica vol. 3, 1931). In Poerbatjaraka’s opinion, the Smara Dahana poet’s Royal patron, whose consort was call ed Sri Kirana, was model for the hero of the

Panji romances, well-known in Javanese- Balinese literature. Panji’s beloved is called Candra Kirana. 30.051 Smara Dahana, complete or nearly complete text: cod. 2203, 2204, 4493, 5018, 5035, 6912. 30.052 Smara Dahana, with interlinear glosses: cod. 3642, 3756 (= 4494), 4495, 5105. 30.060 The subject of the Old Javanese Bhoma Kawya (major kakawin, group A) is a tale of Krësna’s son Samba going on a quest for Yajnawati, the incarnation of the princess he loved in a former existence on earth, and Krësna’s victory, assisted by Arjuna, over the chthonic demon King Bhoma or Naraka, who meets his end by being plunged into the ocean. In the Bhoma Kawya neither the name of the poet nor the year of the writing is mentioned. On account of the invocation of the God of Love in the initial stanza it is supposed that King Kameswara of Kadiri was the poet’s patron. So the Bhoma Kawya is considered as con temporaneous with the Smara Dahana. The Old Javanese Bhoma Kawya was edited by Friedrich (Verh. KBG vol. 24. 1852). It was translated into Dutch and an notated by Teeuw (1946), who found con siderable discrepancies between the known Indian tales of Bhauma and Samba and the Old Javanese poem. Teeuw took also a classical Malay Hikayat Sang Boma into account. Boma appears in several wayaij plays written in the eighteenth and the nine teenth centuries. The original title of the kakawin probably was Bhomantaka, Bhoma’s Death. 30.061 Bhoma Kawya, complete or nearly
