150 HIKAYAT JAYA LANGKARA. 



Now Eatna Gemala, daughter of the king of Egypt, dreamt 

 of this same magic flower which turned seven colours at once, and 

 swore she would not eat or sleep till she got it. 



Eatna Dewi, daughter of the king of Franks (Fefinggi), also 

 dreams of the magic blossom. Her father sends Bangbang Senama, 



( X^ LJb ), Langlang Laut and Langlang Samudra (a name 

 occuring also in Ht. Indra Jaya), his three viziers, on the quest. 

 Langlang Laut takes rich presents to deceive the king of Egypt. 

 while Bangbang Senama sets out for the mountain and meets 

 Makdam and Makdim and princess Eatna Kasina. The wicked 

 brothers had made overtures to the princess, who reproved them 

 with a quotation from the Hadith ! Bangbang Senama captures the 



trio and imprisons the two brothers in the JojS. 



The two cats hiding under the house of the manglcubumi of 

 Egypt hear of Jaya Langkara's capture and report to Xaga Guna. 

 The cat put in his ear, the dragon swims into the sea and finds 

 Jaya Langkara still supported by a petal of the magic flower: he 

 is revived by licking the bezoar in the dragon's palate. They reach 

 a reef (ujong karang) — Pulau Biram Dewa in Niemann's MS. — 

 on the shore of the land of the Franks and Java Langkara fights 

 an ascetic Perputeh Undang-Unclang ( TpAi\ a.^3^9 ) and com- 

 pels him to become a Muslim. With the help of genies he releases 

 his half-brothers from prison. Eatna Kasina and Eatna Dewi 

 come out and the former tells them he is Jaya Langkara. They 

 feast, get intoxicated with wine and exchange verses. Makdam 

 marries Eatna Dewi. Java Langkara gets the magic flower. 



The manglcubumi comes from Egypt to get the flower. Jaya 

 Langkara fights and worsts him, but hearing of Eatna Gemala's 

 case goes to Eg} r pt on Naga Guna's back and marries Makdim to 

 Eatna Gemala. He tells how the magic flower has rooted in Eatna 

 Ivasina's hand. Then he and Eatna Kasina return to 'Ajani Saukat 

 and the king's ill is cured. 



Makdam and Makdim come to 'Ajam Saukat and resolve to 

 kill Jaya Langkara, as each of them lusts after Eatna Kasina. 

 Eatna Kasina flees to avoid them and comes to Java Langkara in 

 the dragon's cave. The two half-brothers stop the entrance to the 

 cave and think they have slain their rival. But the dragon releases 

 him, and takes him and the princess to Madinah, where they are 

 married and bathed on a pancha-persada. The dragon fetches every 

 one including the astounded half-brothers to see the wedding. 

 Java Langkara's mother weds the king of Madinah. Jaya Lang- 

 kara is made king of Madinah.
