Notes
without boards — The writing of the 9 palmleaves is done by a bold hand, but it is irregular; the scribe
made several mistakes, which he corrected afterwards as well as possible. — palm leaf — Old Javanese poem on the final battle of Pāndawas and Kaurawas and the defeat of the
Kaurawas, composed in the reign of King Jaya Bhaya of Kadiri (East Java) by the poets
mpu Sedah and mpu Panuluh. Mpu Sedah began the composition in 1157 A. D., his son
finished his work (see Lit. of Java I, p. 178). The metres used in the Bhārata Yuddha
follow the Indian prosody (see Lit. of Java I, §00050 p. 16). The poem has always
been considered by the Javanese to be one of the masterpieces of their old literature,
and it was reedited and translated into modern Javanese several times. The Old Javanese
text was edited (printed with Balinese characters) by Gunning (1903) and translated
into Dutch by Hooykaas and Poerbatjaraka (in Djâwâ, vol. 14, 1934). See Zoetmulder,
“Kalangwan”, 1974, p. 256 ff. and p. 279 ff. The 9 palmleaves (numbered 1-9) contain the beginning of a well known episode of the
poem: The touching description of the end of King Salya, who fought loyally on the
side of the Kaurawas, the senior branch of the Bhārata family, though he had his doubts
about the righteousness of their war with their cousins, the Pāndawas. The fragment
contains canto 37-38 of the Old Javanese Bhārata Yuddha, which has 52 cantos in all.
